  • A
    $\frac{3h}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{5h}{8}$
  • C

Consider a two-particle system with particles having masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. 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?

The center of mass of a system of particles with masses $1 \, g, 2 \, g$,and $3 \, g$ is at the origin. When a particle of mass $4 \, g$ with position vector $\alpha(\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k})$ is added,the center of mass of the system becomes $(1, 2, 3)$. If $\alpha$ is a constant,its value must be:
