$A$ uniform thin rod $AB$ of length $L$ has linear mass density $\mu(x) = a + \frac{bx}{L}$,where $x$ is measured from $A$. If the $CM$ of the rod lies at a distance of $\frac{7}{12}L$ from $A$,then $a$ and $b$ are related as

When does a body (system) have different centre of gravity and centre of mass?

In the $HCl$ molecule,the separation between the nuclei of the two atoms is about $1.27 \; \mathring{A} \; (1 \; \mathring{A} = 10^{-10} \; m)$. Find the approximate location of the center of mass $(CM)$ of the molecule,given that a chlorine atom is about $35.5$ times as massive as a hydrogen atom and nearly all the mass of an atom is concentrated in its nucleus.

An isolated particle of mass $m$ is moving in a horizontal $x-y$ plane along the $x-$axis at a certain height above the ground. It suddenly explodes into two fragments of masses $m/4$ and $3m/4$. An instant later,the smaller fragment is at $y = 15 \ cm$. The larger fragment at this instant is at $y = \dots \ cm$.

Two particles of masses $200 \ g$ and $500 \ g$ are moving with velocities $10 \ \hat{i} \ m/s$ and $3 \ \hat{i} + 5 \ \hat{j} \ m/s$ respectively. The velocity of the center of mass of the system is:

Infinite rods of uniform mass density and lengths $L, L/2, L/4, \dots$ are placed one upon another up to infinity as shown in the figure. Find the $x-$ coordinate of the centre of mass.
