A circular plate of diameter 'a' is kept...

A circular plate of diameter `'a'` is kept in contact with a square plate of side a as shown. The density of the material and the thickness are same everywhere. The centre of mass of composite system will be

A

inside the circular plate

B

inside the square plate

C

at the point of contact

D

outside the system

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Treating the plates as point mass located at their C.M., as the mass of plate is more (due to larger area), C.M of system will be closer to the C.M of the plate.
