Mass centers of a system of three partic...

Mass centers of a system of three particles of masses `1,2,3kg` is at the point (1m,2m,3m) and mass center of another group of two partices of masses `2kg` and `3kg` is at point `(-1m,3m,-2m)`. Where a `5kg` particle should be placed, so that mass center of the system of all these six particles shifts to mass center of the first system?

A

`(1m,-3m,2m)`

B

`(3m,3m,2m)`

C

`(-1m,2m,3m)`

D

`(3m,1m,8m)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Ans.(4)
`(6(hat(i)+2hat(j)+3hat(k))+5(-hat(i)+3hat(j)-2hat(k))+5vec(r))/(16)=(hati+2hatj+3hat(k))`
`vec(r)=(3hat(i)+hat(j)+8hat(k))`
