NEET Physics Centre of Mass Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Centre of Mass of two particles (i) Lies at the midpoint for equal masses (b) Centre of Mass of a uniform thin rod (ii) Lies at the geometric center (c) Centre of Mass of a triangular lamina (iii) Lies on the medians (d) Centre of Mass of an L-shaped lamina (iv) Lies at (5/6, 5/6) m
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The centre of mass of two particles is indeed at the midpoint for equal masses (a-i). For a uniform thin rod, the centre of mass lies at the geometric center (b-ii). The centre of mass of a triangular lamina lies on the medians (c-iii), and for the L-shaped lamina, the calculation yields coordinates (5/6, 5/6) m (d-iv).
