प्रश्न
The centre of mass of a system of particles is at the origin. It follows that
विकल्प
the number of particles to the right of the origin is equal to the number of particles to the left
the total mass of the particles to the right of the origin is same as the total mass to the left of the origin
the number of particles on X-axis should be equal to the number of particles on Y-axis
if there is a particle on the positive X-axis, there must be at least one particle on the negative X-axis
none of these
उत्तर
None .
The centre of mass of a system of particles depends on the product of individual masses and their distances from the origin.
Therefore, we may say about the given statements:
(a) Distance of particles from origin is not known.
(b) Masses are same but the distance of particles from the origin is not given.
(c) Distance of particles from origin is not given.
(d) It is not necessary that least one particle lies on the negative X-axis. The particles can be above the negative X-axis on X-Y plane.

Separation of Motion of a system of particles into motion of the centre of mass and motion about the centre of mass:
- Show pi = p’i + miV Where pi is the momentum of the ith particle (of mass mi) and p′ i = mi v′ i. Note v′ i is the velocity of the ith particle relative to the centre of mass. Also, prove using the definition of the centre of mass `sum"p""'"_"t" = 0`
-
Show K = K′ + 1/2MV2
where K is the total kinetic energy of the system of particles, K′ is the total kinetic energy of the
system when the particle velocities are taken with respect to the centre of mass and MV2/2 is the
kinetic energy of the translation of the system as a whole (i.e. of the centre of mass motion of the
system). The result has been used in Sec. 7.14. - Show where `"L""'" = sum"r""'"_"t" xx "p""'"_"t"` is the angular momentum of the system about the centre of mass with
velocities taken relative to the centre of mass. Remember `"r"_"t" = "r"_"t" - "R"`; rest of the notation is the standard notation used in the chapter. Note L′ and MR × V can be said to be angular momenta, respectively, about and of the centre of mass of the system of particles. - Show `"dL"^"'"/"dt" = ∑"r"_"i"^"'" xx "dP"^"'"/"dt"`
Further show that `"dL"^'/"dt" = τ_"ext"^"'"`
Where `"τ"_"ext"^"'"` is the sum of all external torques acting on the system about the centre of mass.
(Hint: Use the definition of centre of mass and third law of motion. Assume the internal forces between any two particles act along the line joining the particles.)
