Three identical spheres each of mass M are placed at the corners of a right angled triangle with mutually perpendicular sides equal to 3m each Taking point of intersection of mutually perpendicular sides as origin, the magnitude of position vector of centre of mass of the system will be xm The value of x is
Answer
The correct answer is 2
rcom=3MM(0i^+0j^)+M(3i^)+M(3j^)
rcom=i^+j^
∣rcom∣=2=x
x=2
