Consider a circular disc of radius 20 cm with centre located at the origin. A circular hole of radius 5 cm is cut from this disc in such a way that the edge of the hole touches the edge of the disc. The distance of centre of mass of residual or remaining disc from the origin will be
- 1.5 cm
- 2.0 cm
- 0.5 cm
- 1.0 cm
Answer
(4) 1.0 cm
Solution
Hole = negative mass at H; masses in the ratio of areas: M:m=400 :25 , and OH=20-5=15 cm.
[figure]
xcm= M(0)-m(15)M-m= -25 15375 =-1 cm
C is 1 cm from O, on the side opposite to the hole.
Answer: (4)
