A small disc of radius 2 cm is cut from a disc of radius 6 cm. If the distance between their centers is 3.2 cm, what is the shift in the center of mass of the disc?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Let radius of complete disc is R and that of small disc is 
. Also, let centre of mass now
shifts to 
at a distance 
from original center.
The position of new center of mass is given by
, where, 
mass per unit area
Here, 
Hence, 
Negative sign indicates the shift is towards left.
