Question
A cricket bat is cut through its centre of mass into two parts as shown 
Then, state whether both parts are of same mass or not. Also, give reason.
Then, state whether both parts are of same mass or not. Also, give reason.✓
Answer
Centre of mass of a body lies towards region of heavier mass. So, if bat is cut through its centre of mass, both parts are not of equal masses.
