Three particles of masses 1kg, 2kg, and 3kg are located at (1,1), (2,3), and (4,2) respectively. What is the y-coordinat

Formula: Y = m1y1+m2y2+m3y3m1+m2+m3. Masses: 1,2,3kg; y-coordinates: 1,3,2. Y = (1×1)+(2×3)+(3×2)1+2+3 = 1+6+66 = 136≈2.17m. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 2.17 m. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.

A system consists of two particles: 1kg at (2,3) and 2kg at (4,1). What is the y-coordinate of the center of mass?

Formula: Y = m1y1+m2y2m1+m2. m1 = 1kg, y1 = 3; m2 = 2kg, y2 = 1. Y = (1×3)+(2×1)1+2 = 3+23 = 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.

Formula: Y = m1y1+m2y2+m3y3+m4y4m1+m2+m3+m4. Masses: 1,3,5,7kg; y-coordinates: 0,0,3,3. Y = (1×0)+(3×0)+(5×3)+(7×3)1+3+5+7 = 0+0+15+2116 = 3616 = 2.25m. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 2.25 m. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.
