Get started for freeConsider some particles in the plane with position vectors and masses .
The position vector of the center of mass of this system is
where .
Consider the triangular plate shown in the accompanying sketch. How must a total mass of be distributed among the three vertices of the plate so that the plate can be supported at the point ; that is, ? Assume that the mass of the plate itself is negligible.
Question 11: The system is inconsistent.
Balancing a chemical reaction. Consider the chemical reaction
,
where a, b, c, and d are unknown positive integers. The reaction must be balanced; that is, the number of atoms of each element must be the same before and after the reaction. For example, because the number of oxygen atoms must remain the same,
.
While there are many possible values for and d that balance the reaction, it is customary to use the smallest possible positive integers. Balance this reaction.
Consider an n× mmatrix A, an r× smatrix B, and a vectorin. For which values of n, m, r,s, and pis the productdefined?
Three merchants find a purse lying in the road. One merchant says, “If I keep the purse, I will have twice as much money as the two of you together.” “Give me the purse and I will have three times as much as the two of you together,” said the second merchant. The third merchant said, “I will be much better off than either of you if I keep the purse, I will have five times as much as the two of you together.” If there are coins (of equal value) in the purse, how much money does each merchant have?
