KVPY2014PhysicsCenter of Mass, Momentum and Collision
A uniform square wooden sheet of side a has its center of mass located at point O as shown in the figure on the left. A square portion of side b of this sheet is cut out to produce and L-shaped sheet as shown in the figure on the right. The center of mass of the L-shaped sheet lies at the point P (in the diagram) when
Options
- Aa / b=( 5 -1) / 2
- Ba / b=( 5 +1) / 2
- Ca / b=( 3 -1) / 1
- Da / b=( 3 +1) / 2
Correct answer
B. a / b=( 5 +1) / 2
