Which of the points is likely position of the centre of mass of the system shown in the figure?
- A \( A \)
- B \( D \)
- C \( B \)
- D \( \mathrm{C} \)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \( D \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The position of center of mass of the system is closer to heavier mass since the position depends on the distribution of
mass. In the given figure, the portion above diagonal contains air while the lower portion contains sand which is more
heavier than air hence the center of mass lies below the diagonal at point D
