An arrow sign is made by cutting and rejoining a quarter part of a square plate of side 'L' as shown. The distance OC, where C is the centre of mass of the arrow, is

A

`(L)/(3)`

B

`(L)/(4)`

C

`(3L)/(8)`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B


`bar(x) = ((M xx 0) + ( -(M)/(4) xx (-L)/(3)) + ((M)/(4) xx (4L)/(6)))/(M) = (L)/(4)`
