Question

A uniform triangular lamina has vertices at (0,0), (5,0), and (0,6). What is the x-coordinate of its center of mass?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

For a uniform triangular lamina, the center of mass is at the centroid, the average of the vertices. X = 0+5+03 = 53≈1.67m. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 1.67 m. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.
