Two point objects of masses 1.5 g and 2.5 g respectively are at a distance of 16 cm apart, the centre of gravity is at a distance x from the object of mass 1. 5 g where x is

A

10 cm

B

6 cm

C

13 cm

D

3 cm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Taking the moment of forces about centre of gravity G
(1.5)g `xx` = 2.5g (16-x)
`rArr3x=80-5x`
or `8x=80` or x=10 cm
