1.	A body A of mass M while falling vertically downwards under gravity breaks into two parts, a body B of mass (1)/(3)M and a body C of mass (2)/(3)M. The centre of mass of bodies B and C taken together shifts compared to that of body A towards ……………
Answer» body C body B depends on height of breaking does not shift SOLUTION :Body A moves ALONG downward direction, so no horizontal external force is acting, so the CENTRE of MASS of parts due to breaking of the body remains REST.
