Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.9\; cm\) right and \(2.0\; cm\) above \(1\; kg\) mass

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(1 \mathrm{kg}\) as origin and \(\mathrm{x}\) -y axis as shown

\({\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{cm}}=\frac{1(0)+1.5(3)+2.5(0)}{5}=0.9 \mathrm{cm}}\)

\({\mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{cm}}=\frac{1(0)+1.5(0)+2.5(4)}{5}=2 \mathrm{cm}}\)
