Well, I do not see your diagram.
However the angle from O to S to O is usually considered to be 120 degrees
so if the distance from S to O is A
and the mass of an O is m
then CG is along the line joining S to the midpoint of O - O
How far from S ?
Well we have 2 m on the left and two times one m on the right, so it is halfway out along that altitude of the triangle.
so what is the length of that altitude in comparison with our measurement A from S to one of the Os??
Well the whole length is A cos 60
so half the length is (A/2) cos 60
cos 60 = sin 30 = 1/2
so
A/4
or one fourth of the way from S along the altitude from S to the line connecting O and O
I have no way to solve this question. help me please
The drawing shows a sulfur dioxide molecule. It consists of two oxygen atoms and a sulfur atom. A sulfur atom is twice as massive as an oxygen atom. Using this information and the data provided in the drawing, find (a) the x coordinate and (b) the y coordinate of the center of mass of the sulfur dioxide molecule. Express your answers in nanometers (1 nm = 1.00 10-9 m).
