A body A of mass M while falling wertically downwards under gravity brakes into two parts, a body B of mass `(1)/(3)` M and a body C of mass `(2)/(3)` M. The center of mass of bodies B and C taken together shifts compared to that of body A towards

depaends on height of breaking

does not shift

body C

body B

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

In order to shift centre of mass, the system must experience an external force, as there is no external force responsible for explosion, hence centre of mass does not shift.
