Concept explainers

Center of Gravity of a system

The centre of gravity is a property that is based on the geometry of a rigid body or any particle. It is described as an equilibrium point or a hypothetical location where the total weight of the body is concentrated.

A gardener is using a tool as shown in the figure to pull weeds. 24 cm You will notice that the tool is designed with a built-in pivot point about which the torques are applied. If the gardener applies a 1.77 Nm torque (about the pivot point) in order to pull a weed, determine the resistive force (in N) the weed exerts on the weed puller. N
The 3.8 m long board shown in the image has a mass of 6.4 kg. The left support is 0.40 m from left end of the board. The right support is 1.2 m from the right end of the board. The cat has a mass of 5.0 kg and starts walking to the right. How far from the right support can the cat walk before the board tips over? (Give your answer in m.) Hints: There are two possible ways to solve this problem 1) Use the center of mass: Find the cat's position when the entire system's center of mass is at the right support. 2) Use torque: Set the pivot point at the right support and find the torque due to the weight of the beam and the weight of the cat. Answer:
