The centre of mass of a body
Lies always outside the body
May lie within, outside or on the surface of the body
Lies always inside the body
Lies always on the surface of the body
Two particle of masses $1\,kg$ and $3\,kg$ have position vector $2\hat i + 3\hat j + 4\hat k$ and $ - 2\hat i + 3\hat j - 4\hat k$ respectively. The centre of mass has a position vector
Three particles of masses $50\, g$, $100\, g$ and $150\, g$ are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side $1\, m$ (as shown in the figure). The $(x, y)$ coordinates of the centre of mass will be
$A$ man weighing $80\, kg$ is standing at the centre of a flat boat and he is $20\, m$ from the shore. He walks $8\, m$ on the boat towards the shore and then halts. The boat weight $200\, kg$. ........ $m$ far is he from the shore at the end of this time.
From a uniform disk of radius $R$, a circular hole of radius $R/2$ is cut out. The centre of the hole is at $R/2$ from the centre of the original disc. Locate the centre of gravity of the resulting flat body.
Mention the position of centre of mass of particles of equal mass.
