35. Case Based MCQs

Direction Answer the questions from on the following case.
Centre of Mass
The centre of mass of a body or a system of bodies is the point which moves as though all of the mass were
concentrated there and all external 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 though some particles of the system may move along that direction.
Suppose that we have three particles, not lying in a straight line. We may define x and y axes in the
plane in which the particles lie and represent the positions of the three particles by coordinates (x1,y1), (x2,y2) and
(x3,y3) respectively. Let the masses of the three particles be m1, m2 and m3 respectively. The centre of mass C of the
system of the three particles is defined and located by the coordinates (X, Y) given by
(i) The centre of mass of a system of two particles divides, the distance between them

(iii) All the particles of a body are situated at a distance R from the origin. The distance of centre of mass of the
body from the origin is
(a) = R (b) ≥ R (c) > R (d) ≤ R
