JEE Main & Advanced Physics Rotational Motion Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - System of Particles Rotational Motion

  • question_answer
    A system consists of three particles, each of mass m and located at (l, 1), (2, 2) and (3, 3). The co- ordinates of the centre of mass are

    A) (1, 1)

    B) (2, 2)

    C) (3, 3)

    D) (6, 6)

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] The coordinates of C.M of three particle are \[x=\frac{{{m}_{1}}{{x}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}{{x}_{2}}+{{m}_{3}}{{x}_{3}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}+{{m}_{3}}}\] &  \[y=\frac{{{m}_{1}}{{y}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}{{y}_{2}}+{{m}_{3}}{{y}_{3}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}+{{m}_{3}}}\]    here \[{{m}_{1}}={{m}_{2}}={{m}_{3}}=m\] so \[x=\frac{({{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}+{{x}_{3}})m}{m+m+m}=2\], \[y=\frac{({{y}_{1}}+{{y}_{2}}+{{y}_{3}})}{m+m+m}=2\] so coordinates of C.M. of three particle are (2,2)
