Question:

Look at the drawing given in the figure, which has been drawn with ink of uniform line-thickness. The mass of ink used to draw each of the two inner circles, and each of the two line segments is m. The mass of the ink used to draw the outer circle is 6 m. The coordinates of the centres of the different parts are : outer circle (0, 0), left inner circle (-a,a),right inner circle (a, a), vertical line (0,0) and horizontal line (0, - a). The y - coordinate of the centre of mass of the ink in this drawing is

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$y_{CM}=\frac{m_1y_1+m_2y_2+m_3y_3+m_4y_4+m_5y_5}{m_1+m_2+m_3+m_4+m_5}$
$\, \, \, \, \, =\frac{(6m)(0)+(m)(a)+(m)(a)+(m)(0)+(m)(-a)}{6m+m+m+m+m}$
$\, \, \, \, \, =\frac{a}{10}$

Concepts Used:

System of Particles and Rotational Motion

  1. The system of particles refers to the extended body which is considered a rigid body most of the time for simple or easy understanding. A rigid body is a body with a perfectly definite and unchangeable shape.
  2. The distance between the pair of particles in such a body does not replace or alter. Rotational motion can be described as the motion of a rigid body originates in such a manner that all of its particles move in a circle about an axis with a common angular velocity.
  3. The few common examples of rotational motion are the motion of the blade of a windmill and periodic motion.
