this is so helpful! 🙌 i have a midterm exam in 3 hours. pray for my soul
Shahd, It works exactly the same if you use mass instead of area. mass = density x volume. In this case the mass is proportional to the area (assuming uniform density).
I just want you to know that all of your videos are very very helpful. I am an A+ student, and physics is just over my head for whatever reason - you spell things out perfectly so people can like can understand. I come to your videos before every physics quiz - so thank you!!

Kaitlin, That's great. Thank you for the feedback.
You have helped me through College Physics which is currently online, ALOT. Thank you so much, it always feels like I am a student in your class.

you are too good... i get hard thinking about all he free poins im going to collect because of this particular video.
This was such a great explanation!!
god bless. I have a midterm soon and you saved me
it's actually really helpful, I was searching in all videos for this type of exercise because I have an exam tomorrow and you reminded me of the explanation, thank you

If we could observe the earth-moon system from millions of miles in the z direction, what would the path look like? Would the earth's path be sinusoidal and yet elliptical? Could we derive an equation to describe it?

Yes an equation could be derived to describe its motion.

Sir please explain how area is proportional to mass!! It's a bit confusing

If the density is uniform mass = area x height x density (height and density are constants)
You made my life a bit easy

How is the center of mass for part 3, 9 when it’s past the 10m on the number line

The center of mass for the rectangular shape is at the middle of the rectangle (half way between 8 and 10.

What if you have the density per unit area of each? Or the first one and the two next are combined in one!
@MichelvanBiezen

For your first question, it doesn't matter, the solution would be the same. For your second question, that wouldn't work because you need simple shapes so that you fan find the center of mass easily for each piece.

Michel van Biezen I didn’t formulate the question totally right. If you have one shape in a form of a L but placed on the long side. The first part of the shape is 20x30 and have a density pet unit area (5 kg/m^2) and the next part of the shape looks like the last two in yours but yours number two have the same height as the first shape in mine but have a total density per unit area of 7 kg/m^2. Same doing as yours ?

hey i have a question. you know how you wrote 10x5.5 when finding the center of mass for the x axis, why is that? i mean didnt you already find the area of a1 then how can you take half of a1 for a2? its on 3:24
@MichelvanBiezen

+Zeba Mahmud The x-coordinate to the center of mass for A2 is 5.5 from the origin. The width of A1 is 3 The width of A2 is 5 3 + (5/2) = 5.5 There are many more examples of this in playlist: MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 4

What if all three combined rectangles are of different material
@MichelvanBiezen

Then they would have different masses, but you would solve the problem in exactly the same way.
Lets say the odd-shaped object had a thickness in the z direction of say 1 unit. Would all of the center of (A)(x)'s be their areas multiplied by .5?

Why do you take the x displacement half of the original length?
@MichelvanBiezen
7 жыл бұрын
We are not looking for displacement here, instead we are looking for the center of mass by combining the center of mass of each section. The center of mass of an object that has uniform mass distribution would be at the half-way point in each direction.
