Explanation
Given:
A uniform square plate of side 6 m and mass 9 kg has one corner at (2, 2) along the x- and y-axes. What is the position of its nter of mass?
These values define the system as per NCERT data.
Formula:
CM: X = 2 + 6/2 = 5, Y = 2 + 6/2 = 5.
This is standard NCERT relation.
Substitution & Calculation:
For a uniform square, the nter of mass is at the ntroid. Vertices: (2, 2), (8, 2), (2, 8), (8, 8) . . Position: (5, 5) m .
Result:
The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per NCERT.
