Example: Find the distance the COM is from the left side of the beam. The 45.0 kg uniform beam is 14.0 m long, has a 12.0 kg box 4.0 m from the left side, and a 30.0 kg box centered 30.0 m from the left side.

The center of the 5.00 kg is 34.0 cm from the center of the 2.00 kg. How far from the 5.00 kg center is the COM? (hint: X5kg = 0)
solution
9.71 cm
5 kg 2 kg
34.0 cm

How far is the COM of the earth moon system from the center of the earth?
Earth’s mass: 5.97x1024 kgMoon’s Mass: 7.36x1022 kgEarth-Moon Distance: 3.84x108 m
(The earth’s radius is 6.38x106 m. Is this COM closer to the center or the surface of the earth?)
solution
4.68x106 m

A uniform meter stick has a mass of 85.0 grams, and I place a 15.0 gram clamp at the 24.0 cm mark, and the 55.0 cm mark. At what mark would it balance? (Assume the meter stick to have a COM at 50.0 cm)
solution
47.3 cm

A uniform meter stick has a mass of 116 grams, and has a 24.0 g mass at the 40.0 cm mark. Where do you clamp a 32.0 g mass to make it balance at the 42.0 cm mark?
solution
14.5 cm

A uniform meter stick has a mass of 95.0 grams, and has a 12.0 g mass at the 13.0 cm mark. What mass do you put at the 85.0 cm mark to make it balance at the 56.0 cm mark?
solution
37.4 g

A 75.0 kg window cleaner is 1.5 m from the right side of a scaffold that is a 62.0 kg uniform beam, 10.0 m long. There is an 18.0 kg toolbox 3.00 m from the left side. Where is the center of mass of the whole thing?
62.0 kg
18.0 kg
6.46 m from the left side, 3.54 m from the right
