$A$ particle of mass $3m$ is projected from the ground at some angle with horizontal. The horizontal range is $R$. At the highest point of its path it breaks into two pieces $m$ and $2m$. The smaller mass comes to rest and larger mass finally falls at a distance $x$ from the point of projection where $x$ is equal to

Two uniform plates of the same thickness and area but of different materials, one shaped like an isosceles triangle and the other shaped like a rectangle are joined together to form a composite body as shown in the figure alongside.If the centre of mass of the composite body is located at the mid-point of their common side, then the ratio between masses of the triangle to that of the rectangle is

Two point masses of $0.3\, kg$ and $0.7\, kg$ are fixed at the ends of a rod of length $1.4\, m$ and of negligible mass. The rod is set rotating about an axis perpendicular to its length with a uniform angular speed. The point on the rod through which the axis should pass in order that the work required for rotation of the rod is minimum is located at a distance of
