The space shuttle is located in "deep space," where the effects of gravity can be neglected. It has a mass of 170 Mg a center of mass at G, and a radius of gyration (kc) = 15 m about the z axis. It is originally traveling forward at v=3 km/s when the pilot turns on the engine at A, creating a thrust T=600(1-e) kN, where t is in seconds. (Figure 1) Figure e-3 km/s G 1 of 1 2m P

In a game of freeze, a person freezes into a position shown below. As a percentage of total body mass, the head is 10%, the two arms are 10%, the trunk is 46%, and the two legs are 34%. The center of mass for each segment is given as an (x,y) coordinate, both units in cm: head = (130, 150),arms = (110, 75),trunk = (65, 95), andlegs = (0, 35). Assume the body mass for the individual is 75 kg and their total height is 160 cm. The length of the feet is roughly 10 cm. Determine the x and y-coordinates of the person's center of mass for this pose. Show all steps. Show the location of the center of mass on the diagram. Is this pose stable or unstable? Explain.

Explorers in the jungle find an ancient monument in the shape of a large isosceles triangle as shown. The monument is made from tens of thou- sands of small stone blocks of density = 800 kg/m3 . The monument is 15.7 m high and 64.8 m wide at its base and is everywhere 3.60 m thick from front to back. Before the monument was built many years ago, all the stone blocks lay on the ground. (a) Choosing a coordinate system with x = 0 at the center of the pyramid, y = 0 at the base of the pyramid, and z = 0 at the face of the pyramid shown in the diagram, determine the coordinates of the center of mass of the pyramid in the x, y, and z directions. (b) How much work did laborers do on the blocks to put them in position while building the entire monument? Note: The gravitational potential energy of an object–Earth system is given by Ug = MgyCM, where M is the total mass of the object and yCM is the elevation of its center of mass above the chosen reference level.
