A uniform square plate ABCD has a mass of 10 Kg. If two points masses of 5 Kg each are placed at the corners C and D as shown in the adjoining figure, then the centre of mass shifts to the mid-point of
Solution
From the given figure, we have...
Centre of Mass (COM) of mass 10 Kg is at (0,0)
Centre of Mass (COM) of 5 Kg block is at (-a,-a) and (a,-a)
Therefore, we have,
Hence, Centre of Mass (COM) is at mid point of OH
