Important Questions on System of Particles and Centre of Mass



A block of mass is tied to one end of a massless rope. The other end of the rope is in the hands of a man of mass as shown in figure. The block and the man are resting on a rough wedge of mass The whole system is resting on a smooth horizontal surface. The man starts walking towards right while holding the rope in his hands. Pulley is massless and frictionless. Find the displacement of the wedge when the block meets the pulley. Assume wedge is sufficiently long so that man does not fall down.


Two men and are standing on a plank. is at the middle of the plank and is at the left end of the plank. The system is initially at rest and masses are as shown in the figure. and start moving such that the position of remains fixed with respect to ground, then meets . Then, the point where meets is located at,
