A plate in the shape of an equilateral triangle, with uniform thickness and density, oscillates in the plane of the plate with the pivot at one vertex. If the period of oscillation is 1.00 s, find the length of a side of the triangle.
Distance from centre of mass (centroid) of an equilateral triangle to each of its vertex
l = L / sqrt(3) (By simple geometry)
time period of the pendulum = 2 pi root(l / g)
thus 1 = 4 pi^2 (L/sqrt(3)*g)
We get L = 43 cm.

plate of mass M is in the shape of a tiangle. Pick the corredt answer(s) from the ollowing The center of mass of the plate can never coincide with the centroid of the plate Even if the density of the plate is non-uniform, the center of mass of the plate always coincides with the centroid of the plate as long as the plate is in the shape of an equilateral triangle uniform It is possible that the center of mass...

An equilateral triangle 8.0 cm on a side is in a 3 mT uniform magnetic field. The magnetic flux through the triangle is 6.0 μWb. What is the angle between the magnetic field and an axis perpendicular to the plane of the triangle?
Three uniform spheres are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. The sphere at vertex A has a mass m. The mass of each sphere at vertices B and C are known to be the same mass M. Let R be the distance from the centre of the triangle to one of the three vertices. (a) A fourth sphere is placed at the centre of the equilateral triangle It is known that the net force on the fourth sphere...

30.6 An equilateral triangle 8.0 cm on a side is in a 3.5 mT uniform magnetic field. The magnetic flux through the triangle is 6.0 μWb. What is the angle between the magnetic field and an axis perpendicular to the plane of the triangle?
Consider an equilateral triangle, with side length 0.693 m. At two of the vertices of this triangle, there are long straight wires carrying a current of 8.11 A out of the page. Find the magnitude of the magnetic field, in T, at the third vertex.
Imagine that you have a metal wire bent into the shape of an equilateral triangle with side lengths of l. This triangle is carrying current, 1, in a direction clockwise around the triangle. Find the magnetic field (magnitude and direction) that the current produces at the center of the triangle. Hint: Use the Biot-Savart law to find the magnetic field for a finite straight wire. How does this help? -
