Could someone confirm if my method here is correct and if not maybe a few tips
:)
I have an L shape constructed of three "boxes" of side length a what is the centre of mass?I know that CoM= the sum of moments (m*a)/ the sum of masses
So if I split the L into two parts, one box and two boxes! (Treating the two boxes as one beam) It would be fair to say that a= 2a and mass =2m for the longer beam.So...
CoM=2m*2a+ m*a/ 3(m) 2/3*a^2 mI suspect this is incorrect but not sure what to do? Ty
Thanks guys
