NEET Physics Center of Mass MCQ Question
Two particles of mass 5 kg and 10 kg respectively are attached to the two ends of a rigid rod of length 1 m with negligible mass. The centre of mass of the system from the 5 kg particle is nearly at a distance of:
50 cm
67 cm
80 cm
33 cm
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The center of mass is calculated using the formula: x_cm = (m₁x₁ + m₂x₂) / (m₁ + m₂). Substituting the given values gives the position of the center of mass.
