TS EAMCET · Physics · Center of Mass Momentum and Collision

An alphabet ' \(T\) made of two similar thin uniform metal plates of each length ' \(L\) ' and width ' \(a\) ' is placed on a horizontal surface as shown in the figure. If the alphabet is vertically inverted, the shift in the position of its centre of mass from the horizontal surface is

  1. A \(\frac{L-a}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{a-L}{2}\)
  3. C \(L-\frac{a}{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{L}{2}-a\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{L-a}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{gathered}\mathrm{A}_1=\mathrm{La}, \mathrm{A}_2=\mathrm{La} \\ \mathrm{y}_1=\frac{\mathrm{L}}{2}, \mathrm{y}_2=\mathrm{L}+\frac{\mathrm{a}}{2}\end{gathered}\)…
