$30 \,kg$ boy stands at the far edge of a floating plank, whose near edge is against the shore of a river. The plank is $10 \,m$ long and weighs $10 \,kg$. If the boy walks to the near edge of the plank, how far from the shore does the plank move (in $\,m$)?

Two particles of masses in the ratio $1:2$ are placed along a vertical line. The lighter particle is raised through a height of $9 \ cm$. To raise the centre of mass of the system by $2 \ cm$,the heavier particle should be

$A$ block of mass $M$ is tied to one end of a massless rope. The other end of the rope is in the hands of a man of mass $2M$ as shown in the figure. Initially,the block and the man are resting on a rough plank of mass $2M$ as shown in the figure. The whole system is resting on a smooth horizontal surface. The man pulls the rope. The pulley is massless and frictionless. What is the magnitude of the displacement of the plank when the block meets the pulley? (The man does not leave his position on the plank during the pull).

The figure shows the positions and velocities of two particles. If the particles move under their mutual attraction,then the position of the centre of mass at $t = 1\,s$ is

Three particles $A, B$ and $C$ of masses $m, 2m$ and $3m$ are moving towards north, south and east respectively. If the velocities of the particles $A, B$ and $C$ are $6 \,ms^{-1}, 12 \,ms^{-1}$ and $8 \,ms^{-1}$ respectively, then the velocity of the centre of mass of the system of particles is (in $\,ms^{-1}$)

Two balls are thrown simultaneously in the air. The acceleration of the centre of mass of the two balls when in the air,
