Center of mass of the given system of particles will be at
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
If all the masses were same, the center of mass would have been at 
but as the mass at 
is 2 m, so the centre of mass of the system will shift towards B. So, centre of mass will be on the line OB.
