An inverted `T`-shaped object is placed on a horizontal floor as shown in Fig. A force `F` is applied on the system as shown in Fig. The value of `x` so that the system performs pure translational motion is

A

`L/4`

B

`(3L)/4`

C

`L/2`

D

`(3L)/2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
