A rod system with a uniform linear density of l = 4.40 kg/m has the shape shown in the figure, with rod 1 the vertical rod and rod 2 the horizontal rod. Rod 1 has length L₁ = 8.00 m, and rod 2 has length L₂ = 7.50 m. Neglect the diameter of the rods.

What is the center of mass of the system?

a.
(1.29 m, 3.31 m)

b.
(2.06 m, 3.10 m)

c.
(3.31 m, 1.29 m)

d.
(3.10 m, 2.06 m)

Question 2

A rod system with a uniform linear density of l = 4.40 kg/m has the shape shown in the figure, with rod 1 the vertical rod and rod 2 the horizontal rod. Rod 1 has length L₁ = 8.00 m, and rod 2 has length L₂ = 7.50 m. Neglect the diameter of the rods.

What is the center of mass of each rod?

a.
rod 1: (35.20 m, 0), rod 2: (0, 11.73 m)

b.
rod 1: (17.60 m, 0), rod 2: (0, 16.50 m)

c.
rod 1: (2.50, 4.00), rod 2: (3.75 m, 0 m)

d.
rod 1: (10.20 m, 0), rod 2: (0, 9.70 m)
