In the figure shown a semicircular area is removed from a uniform square plate of side and mass (before removing) The coordinate of centre of mass of remaining portion is (The origin is at the centre of square)




Important Questions on Center of Mass


In the figure shown the system is at rest initially. Two persons and of masses each move with speeds and respectively towards each other on a plank lying on a smooth horizontal surface as shown in the figure. Plank travels a distance of towards right direction in (Here and are given with respect to the plank). Then:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)

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


A small block of mass is placed on bigger block of mass which is placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. The two blocks are given equal speed but opposite directions, as shown in the figure. After some time, it is observed that both the blocks are moving in the direction of motion of the lower block, with a
speed greater than It can be concluded that -


A particle of constant mass moves in straight line under a time varying force. The change in momentum of the particle in a time interval to can be given as
.
The force acting on the particle as a function of time is shown in the graph. If velocity of the particle is zero at , then
