    A uniform rod of length 1.0 m is bent at: its mid-point to make \[90{}^\circ \] angle. The distance of the centre of mass from the centre of the rod is

    A)  36.1 cm                               

    B)  25.2 cm

    C)  17.7 cm                               

    D)  zero

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     When rod is bent at its mid point to make angle \[{{90}^{o}}\]                                 \[{{x}_{CM}}=\frac{m\times \frac{1}{4}+m\times \frac{1}{4}}{m\times m}=\frac{1}{8}m=12.5\,\,cm\]                                 \[{{y}_{CM}}=\frac{m\times \frac{1}{4}+m\times \frac{1}{4}}{m+m}=\frac{1}{8}m=12.5\,\,cm\]                 The distance of the cantre of mass from the centre of the rod                                 \[r=\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}\]                                 \[=\sqrt{{{(12.5)}^{2}}+{{(12.5)}^{2}}}\]                                 \[=\sqrt{312.5}-17.7\,cm\]
