The correct Answer is:
To address the question regarding the statements about the center of mass of a circular disc with uniform mass distribution, we can analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Statement I **Statement I**: The center of mass of a circular disc with uniform mass distribution lies always at the centre of the disc. - A circular disc with uniform mass distribution means that the mass is evenly spread throughout the disc. - For symmetrical objects, the center of mass is located at the geometric center. - Since a circular disc is symmetrical about its center, the center of mass will indeed be at the center of the disc. **Conclusion for Statement I**: True. ### Step 2: Understanding Statement II **Statement II**: Circular disc with uniform mass distribution is a symmetrical body. - A circular disc is defined as a shape that is symmetric about its center. - This symmetry means that if you were to draw any line through the center, the two halves would be mirror images of each other. - Thus, a circular disc with uniform mass distribution is indeed a symmetrical body. **Conclusion for Statement II**: True. ### Final Conclusion Both statements are true, and Statement II provides a valid explanation for Statement I. The center of mass lies at the center of the disc due to its symmetrical nature.
