If you put one end of a battery at A and the other end at B, current will flow not just across the 2ohm resistor you speak of but all the other resistors aswell. A quick calculation indicates the following. The resistance for a network of length 1 is 4/3 ohms since 1/(1/2+1/4)=1/(3/4)=4/3...

http://forum.physorg.com/index.php?act=ST&f=21&t=6248 Exactly the same problem but with a rectangle. Since the CoM is on the axis of spin, the choice of the origin is easy.

I googled a solution to a very similar problem. The one I found is a rectangle not a triangle. But other then that the method should be the same. The method I used works excellently for the rectangle question. The only real differences in the methods for the rectangle as opposed to triangle is...

shankur, are are you at Uni atm? We need to compare solutions

Might have something Here is the way I have come up with a solution (by no means the correct one) Define the origin of my coordinate frame as being at the intersection of sides a and c. Or at the top of the triange as visualized by Dan. Define x direction as being in the same direction as...
