Two objects of mass 10 kg and 20 kg respectively are connected to the two ends of a rigid rod of length 10 m with negligible mass. The distance of the center of mass of the system from the 10 kg mass is:

Question

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

Let's consider the location of 10 kg mass to be origin. Then location of COM will be, x com = m 1 x 1 + m 2 x 2 m 1 + m 2 = 10 × 0 + 20 × 10 10 + 20 ⇒ x com = 20 3 m
