  1. A -15i^-15j^
  2. B 15i^+j^
  3. C i^-15j^
  4. D 15i^+15j^
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) -15i^-15j^

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Coordinates of masses arranged can be written as, M1, 02M0, 13M-1, 04M0, -1 Therefore, x-coordinate of centre of mass can be written as, Xcm=M×1+2M×0+3M×-1+4M×0M+2M+3M+4M=-15 Similarly, y-coordinate can be written as,…
