Question

Two balls each of mass m are placed on the vertices A and B of an equilateral triangle A B C of side 1m. A ball of mass 2m is placed at vertex C. The centre of mass of this system from vertex A (located at origin) is

  1. open parentheses fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction m comma fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction m close parentheses    
  2. open parentheses fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction m comma square root of 3 blank m close parentheses    
  3. open parentheses fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction m comma fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 4 end fraction m close parentheses    
  4. open parentheses fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 4 end fraction m comma fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 4 end fraction m close parentheses    

The correct answer is: open parentheses fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction m comma fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 4 end fraction m close parentheses


    The centre of mass is given by

    stack x with minus on top equals fraction numerator m subscript 1 end subscript x subscript 1 end subscript plus m subscript 2 end subscript x subscript 2 end subscript plus m subscript 3 end subscript x subscript 3 end subscript over denominator m subscript 1 end subscript plus m subscript 2 end subscript plus m subscript 3 end subscript end fraction
    stack x with minus on top equals fraction numerator m cross times 0 plus m cross times 1 plus 2 m cross times open parentheses fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction close parentheses over denominator m plus m plus 2 m end fraction
    stack x with minus on top equals fraction numerator 2 m over denominator 4 m end fraction equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction m
    stack y with minus on top equals fraction numerator m subscript 1 end subscript y subscript 1 end subscript plus m subscript 2 end subscript y subscript 2 end subscript plus m subscript 3 end subscript y subscript 3 end subscript over denominator m subscript 1 end subscript plus m subscript 2 end subscript plus m subscript 3 end subscript end fraction
    stack y with minus on top equals fraction numerator m cross times 0 plus m cross times 0 plus 2 m cross times square root of 3 divided by 2 over denominator m plus m plus 2 m end fraction
    equals fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 4 end fractionm
    therefore Centre of mass is open parentheses fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction m comma fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 4 end fraction m close parentheses.

    Look at the drawing given in the figure, which has been drawn with ink of uniform line-thickness. The mass of ink used to draw each of the two inner circles, and each of the two line segments is m. The mass of ink used to draw the outer circle is 6m. The coordinates of the centres of the different parts are : outer circle (0, 0) left inner circle (-a comma blank a), right inner circle (a comma blank a) vertical line (0, 0) and horizontal line (0, -a). The y- coordinate of the centre of mass of the ink in the drawing is
