A 'T' shaped object with dimensions show...

A 'T' shaped object with dimensions shown in the figure, is lying on a smooth floor. A force `'vecF'` is applied at the point P parallel to AB, such that the object has only the translational motion without rotation. Find the location of P with respect C.

A

`(3)/(4)l`

B

`l`

C

`(4)/(3)l`

D

`(3)/(2)l`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
For pure translatory motion of object, the force should act at the centre of mass of the object
`y_(cm)=(mxx2l+2mxxl)/(3m) = (4l)/(3)`
