Question

A T shaped object with dimension shown in the figure, is lying on a smooth floor. A force F is applied at the point P parallel to A B, such that the object has only the translational motion without rotation. Find the location of P with respect to C.

  1. fraction numerator 2 over denominator 3 end fraction l    
  2. fraction numerator 3 over denominator 2 end fraction l    
  3. fraction numerator 4 over denominator 3 end fraction l    
  4. l    

The correct answer is: fraction numerator 4 over denominator 3 end fraction l


    For translator motion the force should be applied on the centre of mass of the body so we have to calculate the location of centre of mass of T shaped object.
    Let mass of rod A B is m so the mass of rod C D will be 2m.
    Let y subscript 1 end subscript is the centre of mass of rod A B and y subscript 2 end subscript is the centre of mass of rod C D. We can consider that whole mass of the rod is placed at their respective centre of mass i e, mass m is placed at y subscript 1 end subscript and mass 2 m is placed at y subscript 2 end subscript.
    Taking point c at the origin position vector of points y subscript 1 end subscript a n d blank y subscript 2 end subscript can be written as
    r subscript 1 end subscript equals 2 l j comma blank r subscript 2 end subscript equals l j
    and m subscript 1 end subscript equals m a n d m subscript 2 end subscript equals 2 m
    Position vector of centre of mass of the system
    r subscript C M end subscript equals fraction numerator m subscript 1 end subscript r subscript 1 end subscript plus m subscript 2 end subscript r subscript 2 end subscript over denominator m plus m subscript 2 end subscript end fraction equals fraction numerator m 2 l stack j with hat on top plus 2 m l stack j with hat on top over denominator m plus 2 m end fraction equals fraction numerator 4 m l stack j with hat on top over denominator 3 m end fraction equals fraction numerator 4 l stack j with hat on top over denominator 3 end fraction

    Look at the drawing given in the figure, which has been drawn with ink of uniform line-thickness. The mass of ink used to draw each of the two inner circles, and each of the two line segments is m. The mass of ink used to draw the outer circle is 6m. The coordinates of the centres of the different parts are : outer circle (0, 0) left inner circle (-a comma blank a), right inner circle (a comma blank a) vertical line (0, 0) and horizontal line (0, -a).
