Three masses of $2\,kg$,$4\,kg$,and $4\,kg$ are placed at the three points $(1, 0, 0)$,$(1, 1, 0)$,and $(0, 1, 0)$ respectively. The position vector of its center of mass is:

  • A
    $\frac{3}{5}\,\hat{i} + \frac{4}{5}\,\hat{j}$
  • B
    $3\hat{i} + \hat{j}$
  • C

Find the centre of mass of three particles at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. The masses of the particles are $100 \; g$,$150 \; g$,and $200 \; g$ respectively. Each side of the equilateral triangle is $0.5 \; m$ long.

$A$ point mass $m_A$ is connected to a point mass $m_B$ by a massless rod of length $l$ as shown in the figure. It is observed that the ratio of the moment of inertia of the system about the two axes $AA$ and $BB$,which are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the rod,is $\frac{I_{BB}}{I_{AA}} = 3$. The distance of the centre of mass of the system from the mass $m_A$ is
