MCQ
Figure shows two cylindrical rods whose center of mass is marked as $A$ and $B$ . Line $AB$ divides the region in two parts one containing point $O$ (region $1$ ) and other containing point $O'$ (region $2$ ). Choose the correct option regarding the center of mass of the combined system.
  • A
    The center of mass of the system lies in region $1$
  • B
    The center of mass of the system lies in region $2$
  • The center of mass of the system lies on line $AB$
  • D
    The center of mass of the system may lie in region $1$ or region $2$ depending on the mas of the rods

Answer

Correct option: C.
The center of mass of the system lies on line $AB$
c
Centre of mass will lie on the line joining $COM$ of both the rods.
