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
Write the expression of centre of mass of a system of $'n'$ particles and derive the formula of force acting on its centre of mass.
Three point particles of masses $1.0\; \mathrm{kg} .1 .5 \;\mathrm{kg}$ and $2.5\; kg$ are placed at three comers of a right angle triangle of sides $4.0\; \mathrm{cm}, 3.0 \;\mathrm{cm}$ and $5.0\; \mathrm{cm}$ as shown in the figure. The center of mass of the system is at a point
What is centre of mass ?
From a uniform disc of radius $R$, an equilateral triangle of side $\sqrt 3 \,R$ is cut as shown. The new position of centre of mass is :
The position vector of three particles of masses $1\, kg, 2\, kg$ and $3\, kg$ are $\overrightarrow {{r_1}} = (\widehat i + 4\widehat j + \widehat k)\,m,\overrightarrow {{r_2}} = (\widehat i + \widehat j + \widehat k)\,m$ and $\overrightarrow {{r_3}} = (2\widehat i - \widehat j - 2\widehat k)\,m$ respectively. The position vector of their centre of mass is
