Vedclass · Answer

(B) Let the mass of the semicircular ring with density $\lambda$ be $M_1 = \lambda (\pi R) = M$. Then the mass of the semicircular ring with density $3 \lambda$ is $M_2 = 3 \lambda (\pi R) = 3M$. The centre of mass of a semicircular ring of radius $R$ lies at a distance $\frac{2R}{\pi}$ from the centre along the axis of symmetry. Let the geometrical centre be the origin $(0,0)$. Place the first ring in the left half such that its centre of mass is at $x_1 = -\frac{2R}{\pi}$. Place the second ring in the right half such that its centre of mass is at $x_2 = \frac{2R}{\pi}$. The centre of mass of the composite system is $X_{cm} = \frac{M_1 x_1 + M_2 x_2}{M_1 + M_2}$. Substituting the values: $X_{cm} = \frac{M(-\frac{2R}{\pi}) + 3M(\frac{2R}{\pi})}{M + 3M} = \frac{\frac{4MR}{\pi}}{4M} = \frac{R}{\pi}$.

Two semicircular rings of linear mass densities $\lambda$ and $3 \lambda$ and of radius $R$ each,are joined to form a complete ring. The distance of the centre of mass of the complete ring from its geometrical centre is
