A body A of mass M while falling vertically downwards under gravity brakes into two parts, a body B of mass `(1)/(3)` M and a body C of mass `(2)/(3)` M. The center of mass of bodies B and C taken together shifts compared to that of body A towards

A

Body C

B

Body B

C

Depends on height of breaking

D

Does not shift

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
(d) Since there is no external force, so centre of mass does not shift compared to `A`.
