Three masses are placed on the x-axis: 300 g at the origin, 500 g at x=40 cm, and 400 g at x=70 cm. The distance of the center of mass from the origin is:
1. | 40 cm | 2. | 45 cm |
3. | 50 cm | 4. | 30 cm |
A uniform square plate ABCD has a mass of 10 kg.
If two point masses of 5 kg each are placed at the corners C and D as shown in the adjoining figure, then the centre of mass shifts to the mid-point of:
1. OH
2. DH
3. OG
4. OF
The centre of the mass of 3 particles, 10 kg, 20 kg, and 30 kg, is at (0,0,0). Where should a particle with a mass of 40 kg be placed so that its combined centre of mass is (3,3,3)?
1. (0,0,0)
2. (7.5,7.5,7.5)
3. (1,2,3)
4. (4,4,4)
Two particles of mass, 2 kg and 4 kg, are projected from the top of a tower simultaneously, such that 2 kg of mass is projected with a speed 20 m/s at an angle 30∘ above horizontal and 4 kg is projected at 40 m/s horizontally. The acceleration of the centre of mass of the system of two particles will be:
1. g2
2. g4
3. g
4. 2g
Five uniform circular plates, each of diameter D and mass m, are laid out in a pattern shown. Using the origin shown, the y-coordinate of the centre of mass of the ''five–plate'' system will be:
1. | 2D5 | 2. | 4D5 |
3. | D3 | 4. | D5 |
1. | 9.9 m | 2. | 10.1 m |
3. | 10 m | 4. | 20 m |
At t=0, the positions of the two blocks are shown. There is no external force acting on the system. Find the coordinates of the centre of mass of the system (in SI units) at t=3 seconds.
1. | (1,0) | 2. | (3,0) |
3. | (4.5,0) | 4. | (2.25,0) |
A bomb is projected from the ground at a horizontal range of R. If the bomb explodes mid-air, then the range of its centre of mass is:
1. R2
2. R
3. 2R
4. 2R3
Three identical spheres, each of mass M, are placed at the corners of a right-angle triangle with mutually perpendicular sides equal to 2 m (see figure). Taking the point of intersection of the two mutually perpendicular sides as the origin, find the position vector of the centre of mass.
