As shown in the figure,when a spherical cavity (centred at $O$) of radius $1$ is cut out of a uniform sphere of radius $R$ (centred at $C$),the centre of mass of the remaining (shaded) part of the sphere is at $G$,i.e.,on the surface of the cavity. $R$ can be determined by the equation:

  • A
    $\left(R^{2}-R+1\right)(2-R)=1$
  • B
    $\left(R^{2}+R-1\right)(2-R)=1$
  • C
    $\left(R^{2}+R+1\right)(2-R)=1$
  • D
    $\left(R^{2}-R-1\right)(2-R)=1$

Consider a circular disc of radius $20 \ cm$ with centre located at the origin. $A$ circular hole of radius $5 \ cm$ is cut from this disc in such a way that the edge of the hole touches the edge of the disc. The distance of the centre of mass of the residual or remaining disc from the origin will be (in $cm$)
