Q#1. Three cubes of side lo, 210, and 370, are placed next to another (in contact) with their centers along a straight line and the /= 2/0 cube is in the middle (see Figure below). a) If the cubes are made of the same uniform material, find along this line the position of the center of mass of the system. b) We now replace the cube in the middle (1 = 2/0) by another cube of the same volume but made of a different uniform material. What would be the mass density p of this cube compared to the mass density po of the initial cube if we want to locate the center of mass of the new system at the interface between the cube in the middle (1 = 270) and the right-hand cube (1 = 310)? 1+10+ -210- -310

Question

1. Three cubes of side l0, 2l0, and 3l0, are placed next to another (in contact) with their centers 
along a straight line and the l = 2l0 cube is in the middle (see Figure below).
a) If the cubes are made of the same uniform material, find along this line the position of 
the center of mass of the system.
b) We now replace the cube in the middle (l = 2l0) by another cube of the same volume 
but made of a different uniform material. What would be the mass density  of this cube 
compared to the mass density 0 of the initial cube if we want to locate the center of mass of the 
new system at the interface between the cube in the middle (l = 2l0) and the right-hand cube (l = 
3l0)?
