Find the x coordinate of the center of mass of the bricks shown in the figure.(Figure 1)

Question

brick 1= l/2

brick 2= l/4

brick 3= L

Answer 1

Center of mass of first brick is x1 = L/4

center of mass of second brick is X2 = L/2 + L/8

centrr mass of third brick X3= L/2+ L/4 + L/2

Xcm of three bricks = M( L/4 + L/2+ L/8+ L/2+L/4 + L/2 )/3M

Formula used

Xcm= (m1x1 + m2 x2+ m3 x3)/ (m1 +m2+m3)

Here M = mass of each brick = m1= m2 = m3
