The figure shows a square metal plate of side from which a square plate of side has been cut as shown in the figure. Find the ratio so that the centre of mass of the remaining L-shaped plate coincides with the point



Important Questions on System of Particles and Centre of Mass
Figure shows a fixed wedge on which two blocks of masses and are placed on its smooth inclined surfaces. When the two blocks are released from rest, find the acceleration of centre of mass of the two blocks.

There are two masses and placed at a distance apart, let the centre of mass of this system is at a point named If is displaced by towards and is displaced by away from find the distance from where the new centre of mass will be located.

Let there are three equal masses situated at the vertices of an equilateral triangle, as shown in figure. Now particle starts with a velocity towards line particle starts with the velocity towards line and particle starts with velocity towards line Find the displacement of the centre of mass of the three particles and after time What would it be if ?

Figure shows a flat car of mass on a frictionless road. small massless wedge is fitted on it as shown. small ball of mass is released from the top of the wedge, it slides over it and falls in the hole at distance from the initial position of the ball. Find the distance the flat car moves till the ball gets into the hole.


A cart of mass is at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface and a pendulum bob of mass hangs from the roof of the cart. The string breaks, the bob falls on the floor, makes several collisions on the floor and finally lands up in a small slot made in the floor. The horizontal distance between the string and the slot is Find the displacement of the cart during this process.

Find the displacement of the wedge when comes out of the wedge. There is no friction anywhere.

A block of mass is initially lying on a wedge of mass with an angle of inclination , as shown in figure. Calculate the displacement of the wedge when the block is released and reaches to the bottom of the wedge.
