The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the implications of having a large number of particles distributed in the YZ plane with their center of mass at the origin. Let's break down the options one by one. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Center of Mass**: The center of mass (CM) of a system of particles is given by the formula: \[ \vec{R}_{CM} = \frac{m_1 \vec{r}_1 + m_2 \vec{r}_2 + m_3 \vec{r}_3 + \ldots + m_n \vec{r}_n}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + \ldots + m_n} \] Given that the center of mass is at the origin, we have: \[ m_1 \vec{r}_1 + m_2 \vec{r}_2 + m_3 \vec{r}_3 + \ldots + m_n \vec{r}_n = 0 \] 2. **Option A: Sum of moments of masses about the origin**: The moment of mass about the origin is given by: \[ I_{O} = m_1 r_1^2 + m_2 r_2^2 + m_3 r_3^2 + \ldots + m_n r_n^2 \] Since \( r_i^2 \) (the square of the distance from the origin) is always positive for non-zero masses, the sum cannot be zero. Therefore, **Option A is incorrect**. 3. **Option B: Sum of momentum of masses w.r.t. the origin**: The total momentum \( \vec{P} \) of the system is given by: \[ \vec{P} = m_1 \vec{v}_1 + m_2 \vec{v}_2 + m_3 \vec{v}_3 + \ldots + m_n \vec{v}_n \] If the center of mass is at the origin, the sum of the momenta of the particles must also sum to zero. Therefore, **Option B is correct**. 4. **Option C: Sum of moments of masses about the Y-axis**: The moment of mass about the Y-axis is given by: \[ I_{Y} = m_1 z_1^2 + m_2 z_2^2 + m_3 z_3^2 + \ldots + m_n z_n^2 \] Since \( z_i^2 \) is always positive, the sum cannot be zero. Therefore, **Option C is incorrect**. 5. **Option D: Sum of moments of masses about the Z-axis**: Similarly, the moment of mass about the Z-axis is given by: \[ I_{Z} = m_1 y_1^2 + m_2 y_2^2 + m_3 y_3^2 + \ldots + m_n y_n^2 \] Since \( y_i^2 \) is always positive, the sum cannot be zero. Therefore, **Option D is incorrect**. ### Final Conclusion: The only correct statement is **Option B**: "Sum of momentum of masses of all particles w.r.t. the origin is zero."
