Particle of masses `m, 2m,3m,…,nm` grams are placed on the same line at distance `l,2l,3l,…..,nl cm` from a fixed point. The distance of centre of mass of the particles from the fixed point in centimeters is :

A

`((2n+1)l)/3`

B

`l/(n+1)`

C

`(n(n^(2)+l)l)/2`

D

`(2l)/(n(n^(2)+l)l)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`x_(cm)=(Summx)/(Summ)=((1^(2)+2^(2)+3^(2)+...+n^(2))l)/((1+2+3+...++n))`
