SATHEE: Centre of Mass 1 Question 8

Centre of Mass 1 Question 8

8. Look at the drawing given in the figure, which has been drawn with ink of uniform line-thickness. The mass of ink used to draw each of the two inner circles, and each of the two line segments is $m$ . The mass of the ink used to draw the outer circle is $6 m$ .

The coordinates of the centres of the different parts are : outer circle $(0, 0)$ , left inner circle $(- a, a)$ , right inner circle $(a, a)$ , vertical line $(0, 0)$ and horizontal line $(0, - a)$ . The $y$ -coordinate of the centre of mass of the ink in this drawing is

(a) $\frac{a}{10}$

(b) $\frac{a}{8}$

(d) $\frac{a}{3}$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 8. (a)

Solution:

$y_{C M} = \frac{m_{1} y_{1} + m_{2} y_{2} + m_{3} y_{3} + m_{4} y_{4} + m_{5} y_{5}}{m_{1} + m_{2} + m_{3} + m_{4} + m_{5}}$

$= \frac{(6 m) (0) + (m) (a) + m (a) + m (0) + m (- a)}{6 m + m + m + m + m} = \frac{a}{10}$
