In the \(\mathrm{HCl}\) molecule, the separation between the nuclei of the two atoms is about \(1.27~\mathring{\text A}~(1~\mathring{\text A}=10^{10}~\text m).\) Then the approximate location of the CM of the molecule is:
(Given that a chlorine atom is about \(35.5\) times as massive as a hydrogen atom and nearly all the mass of an atom is concentrated in its nucleus).

1. \(1.235~\mathring{\text A}\) from \(\mathrm{H-}\)atom
2. \(2.41~\mathring{\text A}\) from \(\mathrm{Cl-}\)atom
3. \(3.40~\mathring{\text A}\) from \(\mathrm{Cl-}\)atom
4. \(1.07~\mathring{\text A}\) from \(\mathrm{H-}\)atom

A body is in pure rotation. The linear speed \(v\) of a particle, the distance \(r\) of the particle from the axis and the angular velocity \(\omega\) of the body are related as \(w=\dfrac{v}{r}\). Thus:
1. \(w\propto\dfrac{1}{r}\)
2. \(w\propto\ r\)
3. \(w=0\)
4. \(w\) is independent of \(r\)
