AIIMS 2018 Physics Center of Mass MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
What is the distance of centre of mass of a half ring from centre if the ring has radius = 0.5 m
A
1/π
B
1/3π
C
2/3π
D
1/2π
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The distance of the center of mass of a half ring from its center is given by the formula , where is the radius of the ring. For a half ring with a radius of 0.5 m, this calculates to , which simplifies to when considering the full distance from the center. Other options are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the derived formula for the center of mass of a half ring, which specifically depends on the geometry of the shape and its uniform mass distribution.
