  • A
    $\frac{mL}{m + M}$
  • B
    $\frac{ML}{m + M}$
  • C

Three men $A, B$ and $C$ of masses $40\,kg, 50\,kg$ and $60\,kg$ are standing on a plank of mass $90\,kg$,which is kept on a smooth horizontal plane. If $A$ and $C$ exchange their positions,then mass $B$ will shift:

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a massless spring of spring constant $k$ and unstretched length $l$. The masses are placed on a frictionless straight channel,which we consider our $X$-axis. They are initially at rest at $x=0$ and $x=l$,respectively. At $t=0$,a velocity of $v_0$ is suddenly imparted to the first particle. At a later time $t$,the centre of mass of the two masses is at

Two particles have masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. If the first particle $(m_1)$ is moved by a distance $d$ towards the center of mass,by what distance should the second particle $(m_2)$ be moved so that the center of mass of the system remains at the same position?
