JEE Main2016PhysicsCenter of Mass, Momentum and CollisionActual
In the figure shown A B C is a uniform wire. If the center of mass of the wire lies vertically below point A , then B C A B is close to
Options
- A1 . 85
- B1 . 5
- C1 . 37
- D3
Correct answer
C. 1 . 37
Step-by-step solution
x cm = x 2 = ( ρ x ) ( x 2 ) 1 2 + ρ y ( y 2 ) ρ ( x + y ) ⇒     1 2 + y x = y 2 x 2 ⇒     y x = 1 + 3 2 = 1.37
