Masses $m \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^N \frac{1}{N}$ are placed at $x=N$,where $N=2, 3, 4, \ldots \infty$. If the total mass of the system is $M$,then the centre of mass is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{6} \frac{m}{M}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{5} \frac{m}{M}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{3} \frac{m}{M}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2} \frac{m}{M}$

Four particles of masses $m_1 = 2m$,$m_2 = 4m$,$m_3 = m$,and $m_4$ are placed at the four corners of a square of side $a$. Let the corners be $(0,0)$,$(a,0)$,$(a,a)$,and $(0,a)$ respectively. What should be the value of $m_4$ so that the centre of mass of the system is at the centre of the square,i.e.,at $(\frac{a}{2}, \frac{a}{2})$?

Look at the figure drawn with ink of uniform linear density. $A$ mass $m$ of ink is used to draw each of the two inner circles and each of the two line segments. $A$ mass $6m$ of ink is used to draw the outer circle. The coordinates of the centers of the different parts are: outer circle $(0, 0)$,left inner circle $(-a, a)$,right inner circle $(a, a)$,and the horizontal line segment $(0, -a)$. Find the $y$-coordinate of the center of mass of the ink in the figure.
