‘n’ number of particles of masses m, 2m, 3m, ....nm are at distances x1= 1, x2 = 4, x3 = 9, ......
xn = n2 units respectively from origin on the x-axis. The distance of their centre of mass
from origin is________

Position vector of Centre of mass of continuous mass distribution.
A rigid body may be treated as a continuous distribution of matter.
The ‘particles’ then becomes differential mass elements ‘dm’ and the summation Σ
becomes integration #.
The integrals are evaluated for all mass elements in the object such that

Few important applications for location of position of centre of mass
If two circular discs of radii ‘r1‘ and ‘r2‘ of same material, same thickness are kept in contact
then the distance of centre of mass of system from centre of a disc of radius ‘r1‘ is given by
+
, - + , - If two solid spheres of radii ‘r1‘ and ‘r2‘ of same material are kept in contact, then the
distance of centre of mass of the system from centre of a sphere of radius ‘r1’ is given by

, - For an equilateral triangle the centre of mass is at its centroid.
Distance of centre of mass of a uniform cone of height ‘h’ and base radius R, from the vertex

Formula to find shift in centre of mass when a small portion of mass is removed from a
uniform body.
Suppose a small portion of mass is removed from a uniform body as shown in the figure.

Negative sign implies that the shift of centre of mass is away from the side about which
mass is removed.

Rolling motion
Rolling
If a body rotates about a fixed axis, and at the same time if the axis of rotation translates then
the motion is called combined translatory and rotatory motion (or) rolling motion .
