Two particles of masses in the ratio $1:2$ are placed along a vertical line. The lighter particle is raised through a height of $9 \ cm$. To raise the centre of mass of the system by $2 \ cm$,the heavier particle should be

$A$ block of mass $M$ is tied to one end of a massless rope. The other end of the rope is in the hands of a man of mass $2M$ as shown in the figure. Initially,the block and the man are resting on a rough plank of mass $2M$ as shown in the figure. The whole system is resting on a smooth horizontal surface. The man pulls the rope. The pulley is massless and frictionless. What is the magnitude of the displacement of the plank when the block meets the pulley? (The man does not leave his position on the plank during the pull).

Two blocks of equal masses $M$ are tied with a light string passing over a massless pulley on a wedge with angles $60^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ (assuming frictionless surfaces). The acceleration of the centre of mass of the two blocks is $\left(g=10 \text{ ms}^{-2}\right)$.

Two blocks $A$ and $B$ are joined together with a compressed spring. When the system is released,the two blocks move with unequal speeds in opposite directions as shown in the figure. Select the correct statement.

$A$ wooden plank of mass $90 \ kg$ and length $3.3 \ m$ is floating on still water. $A$ girl of mass $20 \ kg$ walks from one end to the other end of the plank. The distance through which the plank moves is (in $cm$)

$A$ uniform rod of mass $M$ and length $L$ is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied at one end of the rod perpendicular to its length. The acceleration of the centre of mass of the rod is:
