Important Questions on Center of Mass

A disc (of radius ) of uniform thickness and uniform density has a square hole with sides of length, . One corner of the hole is located at the center of the disc and center of the hole lies on -axis as shown. Then, the -coordinate of position of center of mass of disc with hole (in ) is,

Two particles and of masses and , respectively, are projected in the same vertical line as shown in the figure with speeds and , respectively. Initially, they were apart. Find the maximum height attained by the center of mass of the system of particles and from the initial position of center of mass of the system. Assume that none of these particles collide with the ground in that duration. Take .


When a block is placed on a wedge as shown in the figure, the block starts sliding down and the wedge also start sliding on ground. All surfaces are rough. The center of mass of (wedgeblock) system will move,


Both the blocks shown in the given arrangement have a horizontal velocity towards right. If be the subsequent acceleration of the center of mass of the system of blocks, then equals,
