Numerous particles in a system are placed at a distance of “D” from the origin. The position of the centre of mass will definitely be _____

Numerous particles in a system are placed at a distance of “D” from the origin. The position of the centre of mass will definitely be _____ Correct Answer Lesser than or equal to D

Since all objects are placed at the same distance, they are either placed in a spherical configuration, circular-arc configuration or a linear configuration. In all of the cases, the centre of mass of the system will lie within the geometry of the shape. Hence the centre of mass of the system is at a position lesser than or equal to D.
