Block A and block B (see figure below) are forced together, compressing a spring (with spring constant k = 2220 N/m) between them 2 cm from its equilibrium length. The spring, which has negligible mass, is not fastened to either block and drops to the surface after it has ...

A uniform piece of wire, 30 cm long, is bent in the center to give it an L-shape. How far from the bend is the center of mass? I know that the center of mass is ([m1]x+[m2]x)/([m1]+m2]), but I don't quite understand how to apply it to this problem.
