m2 center of mass

Is there a difference between a 'uniform rod' and a 'thin uniform wire' in edexcel m2?

for example on q3 on both papers, one says uniform rod and the other says thin unform wire

do we solve these the same way (with the com in the center of the wire)?

thanks:smile::smile:

Wires and rods both need to be treated as frameworks according to the book... so you would solve them the same way
