Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
(A) Uniform rod of length
- For a uniform rod, the COM lies exactly at the midpoint.
So, (x=).
That matches (Q).
(B) Uniform thin semicircular ring of radius R
- Standard result: COM of a semicircular ring lies at a distance () from the center, along symmetry axis.
So, (x=).
That matches (S).
(C) Uniform semicircular disc of radius R
- Standard result: COM of a semicircular lamina is at a distance () from the center along symmetry axis.
So, (x=).
That matches (R).
(D) Uniform solid hemisphere of radius R
- Standard result: COM of a solid hemisphere is at a distance () from the flat face (base).
So, (x=).
That matches (P).
