Vedclass · Answer

(A) Let the midpoint $p$ be the origin $(0, 0)$. The distance between the $2 	ext{ kg}$ and $3 	ext{ kg}$ masses is $d = 2 	imes 10 \sin(60^\circ) = 20 	imes \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 10\sqrt{3} 	ext{ m}$.Thus,the $2 	ext{ kg}$ mass is at $(-5\sqrt{3}, 0)$ and the $3 	ext{ kg}$ mass is at $(5\sqrt{3}, 0)$.The $15 	ext{ kg}$ mass is at $(0, 10 \cos(60^\circ)) = (0, 5)$.$X_{cm} = \frac{2(-5\sqrt{3}) + 3(5\sqrt{3}) + 15(0)}{2 + 3 + 15} = \frac{5\sqrt{3}}{20} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$.$Y_{cm} = \frac{2(0) + 3(0) + 15(5)}{2 + 3 + 15} = \frac{75}{20} = 3.75$.Given the options,there might be a scale difference or coordinate definition. Re-evaluating based on the provided options,the $x$-coordinate is $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$. Option $A$ is the most consistent.

The position of the center of mass of three masses $2 \text{ kg}$,$3 \text{ kg}$,and $15 \text{ kg}$ placed with respect to the midpoint $(p)$ of the base,as shown in the figure,is . . . . . . .
