System of Particle and Rotational Motion

Question:

Two particles of mass 5 kg and 10 kg respectively are attached to the two ends of a rigid rod of length 1 m with negligible mass. The centre of mass of the system from the 5 kg particle is nearly at a distance of : 

Options:

67 cm

80 cm

33 cm

50 cm

Correct Answer:

67 cm

Explanation:

Xcm = \(\frac{m_1 x_1 + m_2 x_2}{m_1 + m_2}\)

m1 = 5 kg ; m2 = 10 kg ; x1 = 0 cm ; x2 = 100 cm 

Xcm = 67 cm
