Even though you can locate an object's center of gravity by suspending it from a pivot, this is rarely a practical technique. More often, we would like to calculate the center of gravity of an object made up of a combination of particles. The following Tactics Box shows how to find the center of gravity of any number of particles. Part A Figure 10.0 y (cm) A B 10.0 x (cm) Three identical coins, labeled A, B, and C in the figure, lie on three corners of a square 10.0 cm on a side. Determine the x coordinate of each coin, XA, XB, and xc. (Figure 1) Express your answers in centimeters, separated by commas. , , = VA Submit Request Answer Part B ? cm, cm, cm Determine the y coordinate of each coin described in Part A: YA, YB, and yc.
