The center of mass of the beam only is located exactly 49 cm from the left -end as shown in the diagram. The beam is exactly 1 meter long from end to end.

 
4 For the picture above of the orange beam, where is the location of the center of mass of the system as measured from the left end? (The system consists of the 2 masses and the beam.)
5 For the picture above of the orange beam, where is the center of mass of the system located as measured from the right end? (Do new calculations and don't just subtract 100 cm from your answer in #1)
6 For the picture above of the orange beam, where is the center of mass of the system located as measured from the location of the 30 g mass? (Do new calculations.)
 

The center of mass of the beam only is located exactly 51 cm from the left -end as shown in the diagram.. The beam is exactly 1 meter long from end to end.

7 For the picture above of the blue beam, where is the system's center of mass located from the left end?
8 For the picture above of the blue beam, where is the system's center of mass located from the beam's center of mass? (Do new calculations and don't just subtract 100 cm from your answer in #4)

Draw an extended free body diagram of the 5.5 m long beam. There is a reaction force, R, at the wall where the beam touches it. To make calculations easy, represent the reaction force, R, with its components, "V" and "H" at the pin hinge. "V" stands for vertical and "H" stands for horizontal. (Measure from the wall.) help
