A body A of mass M while falling wertically downwards under gravity brakes into two parts, a body B of mass `(1)/(3)` M and a body C of mass `(2)/(3)` M. The center of mass of bodies B and C taken together shifts compared to that of body A towards

A

depends on height of breaking

B

does not shift

C

body C

D

body B

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Since, the acceleration of centre of mass in both the cases is same equal to g, so the centre of mass of the bodies B and C taken together does not shift compared to that of body A.
