Center of Mass
DPP
1. Two particles of mass 1 kg and 2 kg are located at x = 0 and x = 3m. Find the position of their COM.

2. The position vector of three particles of mass m1 = 1kg, m2 = 2kg and m3 = 3kg are r1 = (i + 4j + k)m

r2 = ( i + j + k)m and r3 = 2i j 2k respectively. Find the position vector of their center of mass.
3. Four particle of mass 1 kg, 2kg, 3kg and 4kg are placed at four vertices A, B, C and D of a square of
side 1m. Find the position of COM of particle.
4. If the linear mass density of a rod of length L varies as = A + Bx (where A and B are constants) then
find the coordinates of COM.
5. Three particles of mass 1.0 kg, 2 kg, and 3 kg are placed at the corners A, B and C respectively of an
equilateral triangle ABC of edge 1m. Locate the center of mass of the system.
6. A uniform disc of radius R is put over another uniform disc of radius 2R of the same thickness and
density. The peripheries of the two discs touch each other. Locate the COM of the system.
7. Find the center of mass of the section. Consider the mass of the lamina to be uniformly distributed.

8. A their homogeneous lamina is in the from of a circular of radius R. from it a circular half the radius of
the lamina and fouling the laminas circumference is cut off. Find the COM of the remaining part.

9. Two blocks of masses 10 kg and 20 kg are places on the x axis. The first mass is moved on the axis
by a distance of 2 cm. by what distance should the 2nd mass be moved to keep the position of the COM
uncharged?
10. Two blocks of masses 10 kg and 30 kg are placed along a vertical line. The first block is raised
through a height of 7 cm. By What distance should the mass be moved to raise the COM by 1 cm.
