TS EAMCET · Physics · Center of Mass Momentum and Collision

Four identical particles each of mass ' \(m\) ' are kept at the four comers of a square of side ' \(a\) '. If one of the particles is removed, the shift in the position of the centre of mass is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{a}{3 \sqrt{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From figure (i) \& (ii) of mass at point C is removed the there shift in the position of the centre of mass is \(\frac{1}{3} \frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}\)
