The figure shows two cylindrical rods whose centers of mass are marked as $A$ and $B$. The line $AB$ divides the region into two parts: one containing point $O$ (region $1$) and the other containing point $O'$ (region $2$). Choose the correct option regarding the center of mass of the combined system.
- AThe center of mass of the system lies in region $1$.
- BThe center of mass of the system lies in region $2$.
- CThe center of mass of the system lies on line $AB$.
- DThe center of mass of the system may lie in region $1$ or region $2$ depending on the mass of the rods.

View SolutionThe figure below shows a shampoo bottle in a perfect cylindrical shape. In a simple experiment,the stability of the bottle filled with different amounts of shampoo volume is observed. The bottle is tilted from one side and then released. Let the angle $\theta$ depict the critical angular displacement resulting in the bottle losing its stability and tipping over. Choose the graph that correctly depicts the fraction $f$ of shampoo filled ($f=1$ corresponds to completely filled) versus the tipping angle $\theta$.
