Three point particles of masses $1.0 \; kg$,$1.5 \; kg$,and $2.5 \; kg$ are placed at three corners of a right-angled triangle of sides $4.0 \; cm$,$3.0 \; cm$,and $5.0 \; cm$ as shown in the figure. The center of mass of the system is at a point:

  • A
    $1.5 \; cm$ right and $1.2 \; cm$ above $1 \; kg$ mass
  • B
    $0.9 \; cm$ right and $2.0 \; cm$ above $1 \; kg$ mass
  • C
    $0.6 \; cm$ right and $2.0 \; cm$ above $1 \; kg$ mass
  • D
    $2.0 \; cm$ right and $0.9 \; cm$ above $1 \; kg$ mass

$A$ thin bar of length $L$ has a mass per unit length $\lambda$ that increases linearly with distance $x$ from one end. If its total mass is $M$ and its mass per unit length at the lighter end $(x=0)$ is $\lambda_0$,then the distance of the centre of mass from the lighter end is:

The 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 $\theta$.
