MHT CET · Physics · Center of Mass Momentum and Collision
Three rods of same mass are placed as shown in figure. The co-ordinates of centre of mass of the system are

- A \(\left(\frac{a}{3}, \frac{a}{3}\right)\)
- B \(\left(a, \frac{a}{2}\right)\)
- C \(\left(2 a, \frac{a}{2}\right)\)
- D \(\left(\frac{2 a}{3}, \frac{a}{3}\right)\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\left(\frac{2 a}{3}, \frac{a}{3}\right)\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\( (0,\tfrac{a}{2}),\quad (a,0),\quad (a,\tfrac{a}{2}) \) \( x_{cm}=\frac{0+a+a}{3}=\frac{2a}{3} \)
