Two objects of masses $200 \ gm$ and $500 \ gm$ possess velocities $10 \hat{i} \ m/s$ and $3 \hat{i} + 5 \hat{j} \ m/s$ respectively. The velocity of their centre of mass in $m/s$ is

  • A
    $5 \hat{i} - \frac{25}{7} \hat{j}$
  • B
    $\frac{5}{7} \hat{i} - 25 \hat{j}$
  • C
    $5 \hat{i} + \frac{25}{7} \hat{j}$
  • D
    $25 \hat{i} - \frac{5}{7} \hat{j}$

The center of mass of three particles of masses $10 \ kg, 20 \ kg$,and $30 \ kg$ is at $(0, 0, 0)$. Where should a fourth particle of mass $40 \ kg$ be placed so that the center of mass of the system shifts to $(3, 3, 3)$?

Three identical spheres each of mass $M$ are placed at the corners of a right-angled triangle with mutually perpendicular sides equal to $3\,m$ each. Taking the point of intersection of mutually perpendicular sides as the origin,the magnitude of the position vector of the centre of mass of the system will be $\sqrt{x}\,m$. The value of $x$ is
