MCQ
Two semicircular rings of linear mass densities $\lambda $ and $3\lambda $ and of radius $R$ each are joining to form a complete ring. The distance of the centre of the mass of complete ring from its geometrical centre is
  • A
    $\frac{{2R}}{{3\pi }}$
  • $\frac {R}{\pi }$
  • C
    $\frac{{2R}}{{\pi }}$
  • D
    $\frac{R}{{3\pi }}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac {R}{\pi }$
b
Let the mass of ring having density $\lambda$ be $M.$

Centre of mass

$\frac{M_{1} x_{1}+M_{2} x_{2}}{M_{1}+M_{2}}=\frac{-M \frac{2 R}{\pi}+3 M \cdot \frac{2 R}{\pi}}{4 M}=\frac{R}{\pi}$

A metal rod $\mathrm{AB}$ of length $10 x$ has its one end $\mathrm{A}$ in ice at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and the other end $\mathrm{B}$ in water at $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. If a point $\mathrm{P}$ on the rod is maintained at $400^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, then it is found that equal amounts of water and ice evaporate and melt per unit time. The latent heat of evaporation of water is $540 \ \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{g}$ and latent heat of melting of ice is $80 \ \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{g}$. If the point $\mathrm{P}$ is at a distance of $\lambda x$ from the ice end $\mathrm{A}$, find the value of $\lambda$.
