A large number of particles are placed around the origin, each at a distance \(R\) from the origin. The distance of the centro of mass of the system from the origin is

  1. A equal to \(R\)
  2. B less than equal to \(R\)
  3. C greater than \(R\)
  4. D greater than equal to \(R\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) less than equal to \(R\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As large number of particles is situated at a distance \(R\) from the ongin If particles are uniformly distubuted and make a circulat boundary atound the ongm, then centre of mass will be at the ongin While if the patticles are not uniformly distnbuted, then centre of mass will…
