A circular portion of radius R₂ has been removed from one edge of a circular disc of radius R₁ . The correct expression for the centre of mass for the remaining portion of the disc is
Options
- A- R₂^2 R₁+R₂
- B- R₂^2 R₁-R₂
- CR₂^2 R₁+R₂
- D- R₁^2 R₁+R₂
Correct answer
A. - R₂^2 R₁+R₂
Step-by-step solution
Given situation is shown below. Here we treat removed mass as negative mass. As solid is symmetrical about X - axis, its CM lies along X - axis. Now x_ CM = m₁ x₁-m₂ x₂ m₁-m₂ = d R₁^2 0-d R₂^2 (R₁-R₂ ) d R₁^2-d R₂^2 Here, d= Area wise mass density x_ CM = -R₂^2 (R₁-R₂ ) R₁^2-R₂^2 = -R₂^2 (R₁-R₂ ) (R₁+R₂ ) (R₁-R₂ ) = -R₂^2 R₁+R₂^
