Three identical spheres, each of mass \(M\), are placed at the corners of a right-angle triangle with mutually perpendicular sides equal to \(2~\text{m}\) (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.

1. \(2( \hat{i}+ \hat{j})\) 2. \(( \hat{i}+ \hat{j})\)
3. \({2 \over 3}( \hat{i}+ \hat{j})\) 4. \({4 \over 3}( \hat{i}+ \hat{j})\)

The mass per unit length of a non-uniform rod of length \(L\) is given by \(\mu =λx^{2}\) where \(\lambda\) is a constant and \(x\) is the distance from one end of the rod. The distance between the centre of mass of the rod and this end is:

1. \(\frac{L}{2}\) 2. \(\frac{L}{4}\)
3. \(\frac{3L}{4}\) 4. \(\frac{L}{3}\)

In the three figures, each wire has a mass M, radius R and a uniform mass distribution. If they form part of a circle of radius R, then about an axis perpendicular to the plane and passing through the centre (shown by crosses), their moment of inertia is in the order:

 

1.  IA > IB >  IC

2.  IA = IB = IC

3.  IA < IB < IC

4.  IA < IC < IB
