$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving in the $xy$-plane at a certain height from the ground along the $x$-axis. It suddenly explodes into two fragments of masses $m/4$ and $3m/4$. At that instant,the smaller fragment is at $y = 15 \ cm$. At this instant,the larger fragment will be at $y = $ ........ $cm$.

  • A

  • B
    $ + 20$
  • C
    $ + 5$

Three identical spheres,each of mass $2 M$,are placed at the corners of a right-angled triangle with mutually perpendicular sides equal to $4 \ m$ each. Taking the point of intersection of these two sides as the origin,the magnitude of the position vector of the centre of mass of the system is $\frac{4 \sqrt{2}}{x}$,where the value of $x$ is . . . . . .
