Bryce tracks his mice's health diligently and just now recorded their masses as m₁ = 0.0145 kg, m2 = 0.0141 kg, m3 = 0.0245 kg, and m4 = 0.0105 kg. At this very instant, the x and y components (Ux, U,) of the mice's velocities are, respectively, (U₁x, U₁₁y) = (0.591 m/s, -0.425 m/s,) (v2.x, U2,y) = (-0.605 m/s, -0.933 m/s,) (v3,x, U3,y) = (0.259 m/s, 0.305 m/s), and (V4x, V4,y) = (-0.211 m/s, 0.569 m/s).

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.arrow_forward
