Look at the drawing given in the figure which has been drawn with ink of uniform line-thickness. The mass of ink used to draw each of the two inner circles, and each of the two line segments is m. The mass of the ink used to draw the outer circle is 6 m. The coordinates of the centres of the different parts are: outer cicle (0,0), left circle (-a, a), right inner circle (a,a), vertical line (0,0) and horizontal line (0 ,-a). The y-coordinate of the centre of mass of the ink in this drawing is

A

`(a)/(10)`

B

`(a)/(8)`

C

`(a)/(12)`

D

`(a)/(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`Y_(cm) = (m_(1)y_(1) + m_(2)y_(2) + m_(3)y_(3))/(M_(1) + M_(2) + M_(3))`
`Y_(cm) = (6m(o) + m( + a) + m(a) + m(-a) + m(0))/(10m), Y_(cm) = (a)/(10)`
