- Find the center of mass of a 120-cm long rod, made of 60 cm of iron (density 8.5 g/cm3) and 60 cm of aluminum (density 2.9 g/cm3). Express the location of the center of mass as measured from the left of the rod, assuming that the iron part of the rod is on the left and the aluminum part is on the right.arrow_forwardTo keep the calculations fairly simple, but still reasonable, we shall model a human leg that is 92.0 cm long (measured from the hip joint) by assuming that the upper leg and the lower leg (which includes the foot) have equal lengths and that each of them is uniform. For a 70.0 kg person, the mass of the upper leg is 8.60 kg, while that of the lower leg (including the foot) is 5.25 kg. Find the location of the center of mass of this leg, relative to the hip joint, if it is (a) fully extended, and (b) bent at the knee to form a right angle with the upper leg.arrow_forwardThe following equation describes the motion of a rocket that is expelling a total mass M of fuel at a rateα = -dm/dt:dv/dt = uα/(M-αt),where u is the speed the fuel is ejected, v is the velocity of the rocket in the x-direction, and t is time. Assume the velocity at t = 0 is v(0) = v0, and that M, and u are constants. The burn rate is proportional to the mass of the rocket, as follows:α = -βm,where m is the current mass of the rocket (which is therefore time-dependent). This means that as less fuel is available to burn, then the fuel is burned at a lower rate. Write an expression for the mass of the fuel as a function of time. Now, write an expression for the velocity as a function of time for the rocket. A particular rocket burns fuel at a rate proportional to the mass of the fuel with the constant of proportionality being 6.4 1/s. The propellant speed is 5.1 m/s. The total mass of fuel is 136.4 kg. What is the speed, in meters per second, of the rocket at t = 2.7 s?arrow_forward
