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:

  • A
    $\frac{20}{3}\,m$
  • B
    $10\,m$
  • C
    $5\,m$
  • D
    $\frac{10}{3}\,m$

In the $HCl$ molecule,the separation between the nuclei of the two atoms is about $1.27 \, \mathring{A}$ $(1 \, \mathring{A} = 10^{-10} \, m)$. The approximate location of the centre of mass of the molecule from the hydrogen atom,assuming the chlorine atom to be about $35.5$ times as massive as the hydrogen atom,is ....... $\mathring{A}$.

Each side of a rhombus has length $a$. Four particles of masses $m, 2m, 3m$ and $4m$ are placed at the vertices of the rhombus. The angle between two adjacent sides of the rhombus is $60^o$. The rhombus lies in the $x-y$ plane,with mass $m$ at the origin and mass $4m$ on the $x$-axis. Find the coordinates of the center of mass of this system.
