Q1:

From a circular plate of a diameter 6 cm is cut out a circle whose diameter is equal to the radius of the plate. The C.G. of the remainder from the centre of circular plate is at a distance of

A 2.0 cm

B 1.5 cm

C 1.0

D 0.5 cm.

ANS:D - 0.5 cm.

X = 5R/6.
= 5(3)/6,
=2.5.

X is the distance of the centroid from the end in the question he asked distance of the centroid from centre.

Circle centre at 3 so;
3-2.5= 0.5 is the answer.
