Four point masses P, Q, R and S with respective masses 1 kg, 1 kg, 2 kg and 2 kg form the corners of a square of side a. The centre of mass of the system will be farthest from

P only

R and S

R only

P and Q

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

Distribution of mass is more towards R and S due to heavy weight . Hence COM will be far from P and Q
