​

Answer 1

Position of center of mass = 4 meter from on x-axis.

Given:

Two mass of 2 kg and 1 kg are situated at 2 meter ,8 meter on x-axis.

To find:

The position of center of mass from origin.

Formula used:

Position of center of mass = $\frac{m_1x_1 +m_2 x_2 }{m_1+m_2}$

Where $x_1 \ and \ x_2$  are the distance of mass $m_1$ and $m_2$

Explanation:

Two mass of $m_1$=2 kg and $m_2$  = 1 kg are situated at $x_1$ = 2 meter $x_1$ = 8 meter on x-axis.

Position of center of mass = $\frac{2\times 2 +1\times8 }{2+1}$ = $\frac{4+8}{3}$ = $\frac{12}{3}$ = 4 meter from on x-axis.

Position of center of mass = 4 meter from on x-axis.
