Question
Two bodies of masses 4 kg and 5 kg are kept at fixed locations having position vectorsrespectively. The position vector of centre of mass of this system is
Solution
It seems like your question is incomplete. You have not provided the position vectors for the two bodies. The position vector of the center of mass of a system is given by the formula:
R_cm = (m1r1 + m2r2) / (m1 + m2)
where:
- R_cm is the position vector of the center of mass,
- m1 and m2 are the masses of the two bodies,
- r1 and r2 are the position vectors of the two bodies.
Please provide the position vectors for the two bodies so I can help you calculate the position vector of the center of mass.
