The figure shows two cylindrical rods whose centers of mass are marked as $A$ and $B$. The line $AB$ divides the region into two parts: one containing point $O$ (region $1$) and the other containing point $O'$ (region $2$). Choose the correct option regarding the center of mass of the combined system.

  • A
    The center of mass of the system lies in region $1$.
  • B
    The center of mass of the system lies in region $2$.
  • C
    The center of mass of the system lies on line $AB$.
  • D
    The center of mass of the system may lie in region $1$ or region $2$ depending on the mass of the rods.

Look at the figure drawn with ink of uniform linear density. $A$ mass $m$ of ink is used to draw each of the two inner circles and each of the two line segments. $A$ mass $6m$ of ink is used to draw the outer circle. The coordinates of the centers of the different parts are: outer circle $(0, 0)$,left inner circle $(-a, a)$,right inner circle $(a, a)$,and the horizontal line segment $(0, -a)$. Find the $y$-coordinate of the center of mass of the ink in the figure.
