(i) A regular polygon has 2016 sides and r is the radius of the circle circumscribing the polygon. Particles of equal mass are placed at 2015 vertices of the polygon. Find the distance of the centre of mass of the particle system from the centre of the polygon.
(ii) In the last problem you have been asked to remove any one particle from the system so that the centre of mass of the remaining 2014 particles lies farthest from the geometrical centre of the polygon. Which particle will you remove ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
