Three point particles of masses \(1.0\; \mathrm{kg} .1 .5 \;\mathrm{kg}\) and \(2.5\; kg\) are placed at three comers of a right angle triangle of sides \(4.0\; \mathrm{cm}, 3.0 \;\mathrm{cm}\) and \(5.0\; \mathrm{cm}\) as shown in the figure. The center of mass of the system is at a point

Pick an option to check your answer.
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
\({\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{cm}}=\frac{1(0)+1.5(3)+2.5(0)}{5}=0.9 \mathrm{cm}}\)
\({\mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{cm}}=\frac{1(0)+1.5(0)+2.5(4)}{5}=2 \mathrm{cm}}\)
