All the particles of a body situated at distance `d` from the origin. The distance of the center of mass of the body from the origin is

A

`=R`

B

`leR`

C

`gtR`

D

`geR`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

For a single particle, distance of center of mass from orirign is R. For more than one particle distance `leR)`

For example, for two particles of equal mass, kept as shown in figure, distance = 0.
