Well, that's just zero, so it's gonna be negativeĢ0 kilogram centimeters divided by eight kilograms gives us negative 2.5 centimeters, so you might be worried,

Kilograms plus six kilograms and what are we gonna get? We're gonna get two times negative 10 plus six times zero, Six kilogram mass is zero, using this convention and we divide by both of the masses added up, so that's still two Negative 10 centimeters plus six kilograms times, now the location of the This way is positive, it's gonna be negative 10 centimeters, 'cause it's 10 centimeters to the left, so this is gonna be Two kilogram mass is not zero, it's gonna be if this is zero and we're considering Of the center of mass for this calculation is gonna be, well, we'll have two kilograms, but now the location of the Side as X equals zero, let's say we say X equals zero is this six kilogram mass's position, what are we gonna get then? We'll get that the location Point as X equals zero, "won't we get a different number?" You will, so let's say you did this, instead of picking that as X equals zero, let's say we pick this That point right there and just to show you, you might be like, "Wait, we can choose any You put a pivot right here, they would balance at Which is right here, that's the location of the center of mass, so in other words, if youĬonnected these two spheres by a rod, a light rod and The masses added together, which is gonna be two kilograms for M1 plus six kilograms for M2Īnd what we get out of this is two times zero, zero plus six times 10 is 60 kilogram centimetersĭivided by two plus six is gonna be eight kilograms, which gives us 7.5 centimeters, so it's gonna be 7.5Ĭentimeters from the point we called X equals zero, Two masses, so we stop there and we just divide by all We already chose this as X equals zero for mass one, so that still has to be XĮquals zero for mass two, that means this has toīe 10 centimeters now and then those are our only Whatever point we want, but we have to be consistent, Times the position of M2, again we can choose Have to add to that M2, which is six kilograms Term's just gonna go away, which is okay, we're gonna In fact, it's kind of cool, because if this is X equals zero, the position of mass one is zero meters, so it's gonna be, this

Would be X equals 10, we're free to choose that, Halfway would be X equals five and then over here, it It's positive this way, so if this is X equals zero, Here is X equals zero, let's say right here is XĮquals zero on our number line and then it goes this way, Let's just say for the sake of argument, the left-hand side over To measure them from will also be the point, where the center of mass is measured from, in other words, you get toĬhoose where X equals zero. These positions from and wherever you decide
So you get to decide where you're measuring Might be like the position, I don't know what the position is, there's no coordinate system up here, well, you get to pick, One and at this point, you might be confused, you Two kilogram mass is M1 and we're gonna have to multiply by X1, the position of mass Of mass is gonna be equal to, alright, so we'll take M1, which you could take either one as M1, but I already colored this one red, so we'll just say the This for this example problem right here and let's see what we get, we'll have the center of mass, the position of the center Of the masses added together and what you get out of this is the location of the center of mass. Times their positions and you add up all of these M times Xs, until you've accountedįor every single M times X there is in your system and then you just divide by all That you're trying to find the center of mass between, you take all those masses Of the center of mass, it's the position of theĬenter of mass is gonna equal, you take all the masses Of the center of mass, that's what this is, this Xcm is just the location Of mass looks like this, it says the location This six kilogram mass, now they're separated by 10 centimeters, so it's somewhere in between them and we know it's gonna beĬloser to the larger mass, 'cause the center of mass is always closer to the larger mass, butĮxactly where is it gonna be? We need a formula to figure this out and the formula for the center So let's say you wanted to know where the center of mass was between this two kilogram mass and
