MCQ
Three point masses $m_1, m_2$ and $m_3$ are placed at the corners of a thin massless rectangular sheet ($1.2 \,m \times$ $1.0 \,m$ ) as shown. Centre of mass will be located at the point ........... $m$
  • A
    $(0.8,0.6)$
  • B
    $(0.6,0.8)$
  • $(0.4,0.4)$
  • D
    $(0.5,0.6)$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$(0.4,0.4)$
c
(c)

$x_{ cm }=\frac{m_1 x_1+m_2 x_2+m_3 x_3}{m_1+m_2+m_3}$

$y_{ cm }=\frac{m_1 y_1+m_2 y_2+m_3 y_3}{m_1+m_2+m_3}$

$x_{ cm }=\frac{(1.6)(0)+(2.4)(0)+2(1.2)}{1.6+2.4+2}=0.4 \,m$

$y_{ cm }=\frac{(1.6)(0)+(2.4) 1+2(0)}{1.6+2.4+2}=0.4 \,m$

$\text { So, }\left(x_{ cm }, y_{ cm }\right)=(0.4,0.4) \,m$

Two parallel wires in the plane of the paper are distance $X _0$ apart. A point charge is moving with speed $u$ between the wires in the same plane at a distance $X_1$ from one of the wires. When the wires carry current of magnitude $I$ in the same direction, the radius of curvature of the path of the point charge is $R_1$. In contrast, if the currents $I$ in the two wires have direction opposite to each other, the radius of curvature of the path is $R_2$.

If $\frac{x_0}{x_1}=3$, the value of $\frac{R_1}{R_2}$ is.
