System of Particles and Rotational Motion


  1. Consider a system of two particles having masses m1 and m2. If the particle of mass m1 is pushed towards the centre of mass of particles through a distance d, by what distance would the particle of mass m2 move so as to keep the centre of mass of particles at the original position?

    m1d1 = m2d2 ⇒ d2 =
    m1d1
    =
    m1
    d
    m1m2

    Correct Option: C

    m1d1 = m2d2 ⇒ d2 =
    m1d1
    =
    m1
    d
    m1m2
