There are four masses of weight 1 lbs, 2 lbs, 3 lbs. and 4 lbs. They are placed, in that order at the points (0, 0), (1, 0), (0, 1), and (1, 1), forming a unit square. Where is the center of mass of these four objects? Hint: as these objects live in 2 dimensions, you’ll need to compute the center of mass in the x-direction as well as the y-direction

Two particles with masses ?1 = 3 ?? and ?2 = 2 ??, which slide as a unit with a common velocity ?0 = 2 ? ? on a level frictionless surface, have between them a compressed massless spring of force constant k = 50N/m. The spring, originally compressed by an amount s = 0.25m, is suddenly released, sending the two masses, which are not connected to the spring, flying apart from each other. a) What is the relative velocity...

A disk with a c of 1/2 about its center, has a mass of 4 kg, and a radius of 0.7 meters. It is originally at rest and a unknown force is applied at the edge of the disk in the -x direction directly above the center. Another force of 13 N is applied directly to the left of the center, halfway between the center edge, in the +y direction. Another force of 6 Newtons is applied directly below the...
