SECTION – E
34 The centre of mass of a body or a system of bodies is the point which (4)

forces were applied to it. Hence, a point at which the entire mass of the
body or system of bodies is supposed to be concentrated is known as the
centre of mass.
If a system consists of more than one particle (or bodies) and net external
force on the system in a particular direction is zero with centre of mass at
rest. Then, the centre of mass will not move along that direction. Even
