Consider a two particle system with particles having masses `m_(1)andm_(2)`. If the first particle is pushed towards the centre of mas through a distance d, by what distance should the second particle be moved, so as to keep the centre of mass at the same position?

A

`(m_(2))/(m_(1))d`

B

`(m_(1))/(m_(1)+m_(2))d`

C

`(m_(1))/(m_(2))d`

D

d

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Here `m_(1)d_(1)=m_(2)d_(2) therefore d_(2)=(m_(1))/(m_(2)).d_(1)`
