COMEDK · Physics · 7. Center of Mass Momentum and Collision

From a circular disc of radius 2 R , a smaller circular disc is cut with radius of the larger disc as its diameter. The centre of the hole is at a distance of \(R\) from the centre of the original disc. The distance of the centre of mass of the remaining portion from the centre is:

  1. A \(\dfrac{R}{3}\)
  2. B \(\dfrac{R}{2}\)
  3. C \(\dfrac{R}{4}\)
  4. D \(\dfrac{R}{6}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\dfrac{R}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the radius of the original disc be \(r_1 = 2R\). The area of the original disc is \(A_1 = \pi (2R)^2 = 4\pi R^2\). The smaller disc cut from it has a diameter equal to the radius of the larger disc, so its diameter is \(2R\) and its radius is \(r_2 = R\). The area of the…
