question 20

Multiple Choice

The masses $m _ { i }$ are located at the point $P _ { 1 }$ . Find the moments $M _ { x }$ and $M _ { y }$ and the center of mass of the system. $m _ { 1 } = 3 , m _ { 2 } = 7 , m _ { 3 } = 111$ ; $$P _ { 1 } ( 1,5 ) , P _ { 2 } ( 3 , - 2 ) , P _ { 3 } ( - 2 , - 1 )$$

• A) \(M _ { x } = 18 , M _ { y } = 44 , \left( \frac { 44 } { 21 } , \frac { 18 } { 21 } \right)\)
• B) \(M _ { x } = 44 , M _ { y } = 18 , \left( \frac { 44 } { 21 } , \frac { 18 } { 21 } \right)\)
• C) \(M _ { x } = 18 , M _ { y } = 44 , \left( \frac { 18 } { 21 } , \frac { 44 } { 21 } \right)\)
• D) \(M _ { x } = 44 , M _ { y } = - 18 , \left( - \frac { 44 } { 21 } , \frac { 18 } { 21 } \right)\)
• E) \(M _ { x } = - 44 , M _ { y } = 18 , \left( \frac { 44 } { 21 } , - \frac { 18 } { 21 } \right)\)
