Two particles of mass 1 kg and 2 kg are located at x = 0 and x = 3 m. Find the position of their center of mass [(a) x = 2 m(b)x = 3 m(c) x = 1.5 m(d) x=1m Two particles of mass 8 kg and 2 kg are located at x = 4 and x = 8 m. Find the position of their center of mass (a) x = 3.2 m(b)x = 4.8 m(c) x = 1.5 m(d) x = 1 m Four particles of mass 1 kg, 2 kg, 3 kg and 4 kg are placed at the four vertices A, B, C and D of a square of side 1 m. Find the position of center of mass of the particles. (a) (0.5 m, 0.3 m) (b) (0.3 m, 0.5 m) (c) (0.2 m, 0.3 m) (d) (0.4 m, 0.3 m) Consider a two-particle system with the particles having masses m1 and m2. If the first particle is pushed towards the center of mass through a distance d, by what distance should the second particle be moved so as to keep the center of mass at the same position? (a)
