Two particles of unequal mass are

connected by a light, rigid rod.
(a) The system rotates clockwise
when a force is applied between
(b) the less massive particle and the
center of mass. (b) The system
rotates counterclockwise when a
force is applied between the more
massive particle and the center of
CM mass. (c) The system moves in the
direction of the force without
rotating when a force is applied at
(c) the center of mass.
