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

`(2)/(3)l`

B

`(3)/(2)l`

C

`(4)/(3)l`

D

`l`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The object will be have translation motion withour rotaion, when F is applied at CM of the system.

If P is the CM then `m(2l - x) = 2m (x - l) rArr x = (4l)/(3)`
