JEE Main 2024 Physics question
In a system two particles of masses = 3kg and = 2kg are placed at certain distance from each other. The particle of mass is moved towards the center of mass of the system through a distance 2cm. In order to keep the center of mass of the system at the original position, the particle of mass should move towards the center of mass by the distance cm.
Answer: 3
Solution
m₁x₁ = m₂x₂ ⇒ 3 × 2 = 2 × x₂ ⇒ x₂ = 3 cm.
