A 'T' shaped object with dimensions show...

A 'T' shaped object with dimensions shown in the figure, is lying on a smooth floor. A force `'vecF'` is applied at the point P parallel to AB, such that the object has only the translational motion without rotation. Find the location of P with respect C.

A

`(4/3)l`

B

l

C

`(2/3)l`

D

`(3/2)l`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`m_(1)= m`, `m_(2) = 2m`
Taking D as origin
`y_(cm) = (m xx 0 + 2ml)/(m+2m)` = (2l)/(3)`
From C, `CP = 2l-(2l)/3 = (4l)/3`
