AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Center of Mass Momentum and Collision

Three identical spheres each of diameter \(2 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~m}\) are kept on a horizontal surface such that each sphere touches the other two spheres. If one of the sphere is removed, then the shift in the position of the centre of mass of the system is

  1. A 12 m
  2. B 1 m
  3. C 2 m
  4. D \(\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{~m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1 m

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The centre of mass of the spheres is given by \( x_{\mathrm{CM}}=\frac{m_1 x_1+m_2 x_2+m_3 x_3}{m_1+m_2+m_3} \) As the spheres are identical,…
