Find the position of centre of mass of the T-shaped plate from `O`, in Fig. |
|
Answer» Suppose `sigma` is mass per unit area of the plate. `:.` Mass of horizontal portion `= 8 xx 2 sigma = 16 sigma` Mass of vertical portion `= 6 xx 2 sigma = 12 sigma` Centre of mass `O_(1)` of horizontal portion is such that `OO_(1) = 1m`. Centre of mass `O_(2)` of vertical portion is such that `OO_(2) = 2 +3 = 5m`. If `y` is distance of cm of T-shaped plate from `O`, then `y = (16sigma xx 1+12 sigma xx 5)/(16 sigma + 12 sigma) = (76 sigma)/(28 sigma) = 2.71m` |
