Consider a gravity free hall in which a tray of mas M, carrying a cubical block of ice of mass m and edge L, is at rest in the middle.. If the ice melts, by what distance does the centre of mass of the tray plus the ice system descend?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As there is gravity free after the ice melts, It would tend toacquire a phereicla shape. But, there is no exterN/Al force acting on the system. So, the centre of mass of the system
