Look at the drawing given in the figure which has been drawn with ink of uniform line-thickness. The mass of ink used to draw each of the two inner circles,and each of the two line segments is $m$. The mass of the ink used to draw the outer circle is $6m$. The coordinates of the centres of the different parts are: outer circle $(0,0)$,left inner circle $(-a, a)$,right inner circle $(a, a)$,vertical line $(0,0)$ and horizontal line $(0,-a)$. The $y$-coordinate of the centre of mass of the ink in this drawing is

The masses and positions (in rectangular coordinates) of four particles are as follows: $1 \ kg$ at $(a, a)$,$2 \ kg$ at $(-a, a)$,$3 \ kg$ at $(-a, -a)$,and $4 \ kg$ at $(a, -a)$. The position vector of the centre of mass of the system of four particles is:

$A$ thin rod of length $L$ is placed along the $X$-axis such that one of its ends is at $x = 0$ and the other is at $x = L$. Its linear mass density (mass/length) varies with $x$ as $k(x/L)^n$,where $n$ is any positive number or zero. If the graph of the center of mass $x_{cm}$ versus $n$ is plotted for the rod,which of the following graphs is correct?
