Rotational Motion Question 157

Question: The centre of mass of three bodies each of mass 1 kg located at the points (0,0), (3,0) and (0,4) in the XY plane is

Options:

A) (43,1)

B) (13,23)

C) (12,12)

D) (1,43)

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d]

XCM=m1x1+m2x2+m3x3m1+m2+m3

=1×0+1×3+1×01+1+1

YCM=m1y1+m2y2+m3y3m1+m2+m3

=1×0+1×0+1×41+1+1=43

Therefore the coordinates of centre of mass are

(1,43)
