Solve the following problems below. You are required to show complete solution. Put
your final answer inside a box with the final unit of measurement.
1. Four squares, with equal side length 1 m, are arranged based on a
rectangular coordinate as shown in the figure. The masses of A, B, C, and
D are 1 kg, 2kg, 3 kg and 4kg respectively. Find the center of mass of the
system of four squares with respect to thex and y axis.

The 4 model rockets just have their engine turned off when they are at the same height. All the rockets are aimed straight up, but their speeds differ. Although they are the same size and shape, the rockets carry different loads, so their masses differ. The specific mass and speed for each rocket are given below:
A. speed = 30m/s, mass = 700g
B. speed = 40m/s, mass = 500g
C. speed = 20m/s, mass = 600g
D. speed = 20m/s, mass = 500g
How much maximum height each model rocket will reach? Why they will reach different heights?
1. A thin strip of metal of mass M is bent into a quarter circle with radius R. Relative to a
coordinate system where the center of the circle is at the origin, what is the position of its
center of mass, (Xem, yem)? The integrals you'll need to compute to find the center of mass are
given below. You answer should be symbolic, in terms of R (for example, 0.1R).
