A uniform rectangular plate of length B = 15 cm and height A = 24 cm has a rectangular corner cut out of it of length D = 6 cm and height C = 8 cm. The plate is made of a material of area mass density σ. For this problem we set the origin at the lower left corner of the plate with the x-axis horizontal pointing right and the y-axis vertical pointing up.

a. Calculate the value of the y-coordinate, in centimeters, for the center of mass of the plate.

b. Calculate the value of the x-coordinate, in centimeters, for the center of mass of the plate.

Answer:

Ycm = 10.769 cm

Xcm = 6.808 cm

Explanation:

Given

B = 15 cm

A = 24 cm

D = 6 cm

C = 8 cm

We can divide the original rectangular plate into two parts and apply the following equations

a) Ycm = ∑Si*Yi / ∑Si

where

S₁ = A₁*B₁ = (9 cm)(24 cm) = 216 cm²

Y₁ = 12 cm

S₂ = A₂*B₂ = (6 cm)(16 cm) = 96 cm²

Y₂ = 8 cm

then

Ycm = (216 cm²*12 cm + 96 cm²*8 cm) / (216 cm² + 96 cm²)

⇒  Ycm = 10.769 cm

b) Xcm = ∑Si*Xi / ∑Si

where

S₁ = 216 cm²

X₁ = 4.5 cm

S₂ = 96 cm²

Y₂ = 12 cm

then

Ycm = (216 cm²*4.5 cm + 96 cm²*12 cm) / (216 cm² + 96 cm²)

⇒  Xcm = 6.808 cm

We have that for the Question, it can be said that

  • the value of the y-coordinate, in centimeters, for the center of mass of the plate.  
  • the value of the x-coordinate, in centimeters, for the center of mass of the plate.
  • Y=13.26cm
  • X=11.21cm

From the question we are told

A uniform rectangular plate of length B = 15 cm and height A = 24 cm has a rectangular corner cut out of it of length D = 6 cm and height C = 8 cm. The plate is made of a material of area mass density σ.

For this problem we set the origin at the lower left corner of the plate with the x-axis horizontal pointing right and the y-axis vertical pointing up.  

a. Calculate the value of the y-coordinate, in centimeters, for the center of mass of the plate.  

b. Calculate the value of the x-coordinate, in centimeters, for the center of mass of the plate.

Generally the equation for the y and xcm  is mathematically given as

[tex]y=\frac{A_1y_2-A_2y_2}{A_1-A_2}\\\\Therefore\\\\y=\frac{(24*28*28/2)-6*9*(A-c/2)}{(24*28)-6*9}\\\\[/tex]

y=13.26cm

b)

[tex]y=\frac{A_1x_2-A_2x_2}{A_1-A_2}\\\\Therefore\\\\X=\frac{24*28*12)-54*21}{24*28-54}\\\\[/tex]

X=11.21cm
