Particles of masses $m, 2m, 3m, \ldots, nm$ grams are placed on the same line at distances $l, 2l, 3l, \ldots, nl$ cm from a fixed point. The distance of the centre of mass of the particles from the fixed point in centimetres is:

$A$ thin bar of length $L$ has a mass per unit length $\lambda$ that increases linearly with distance $x$ from one end. If its total mass is $M$ and its mass per unit length at the lighter end $(x=0)$ is $\lambda_0$,then the distance of the centre of mass from the lighter end is:

The figure below shows a shampoo bottle in a perfect cylindrical shape. In a simple experiment,the stability of the bottle filled with different amounts of shampoo volume is observed. The bottle is tilted from one side and then released. Let the angle $\theta$ depict the critical angular displacement resulting in the bottle losing its stability and tipping over. Choose the graph that correctly depicts the fraction $f$ of shampoo filled ($f=1$ corresponds to completely filled) versus the tipping angle $\theta$.

The mass per unit length of a rod of length $l$ is given by $\lambda = \frac{M_0 x}{l}$,where $M_0$ is a constant and $x$ is the distance from one end of the rod. The position of the center of mass of the rod is:
