To find the center of mass of three particles located at the vertices of an equilateral triangle, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the coordinates of the particles Let's place the equilateral triangle in the xy-plane. We can assign the following coordinates to the particles based on their masses and positions: - Particle 1 (mass \( m_1 = 100 \, \text{g} \)) at vertex A: \( (0, 0) \) - Particle 2 (mass \( m_2 = 150 \, \text{g} \)) at vertex B: \( (0.5, 0) \) - Particle 3 (mass \( m_3 = 200 \, \text{g} \)) at vertex C: To find the coordinates of C, we need to calculate the height of the triangle. The height \( h \) of an equilateral triangle can be calculated using the formula: ...
