The centre of mass of a uniform triangular plate lies at its:

Answer: centroid.

  • A orthocentre
  • B centroid
  • C incentre
  • D circumcentre

Correct answer: B. centroid

Explanation: For a uniform triangular lamina the mass is distributed symmetrically about the medians, so the centre of mass is at the centroid.

axis OPr⊥Fττ = r⊥ × F = r × F × sinθ

Torque about axis O equals the force F multiplied by the perpendicular distance r⊥ from the axis to the line of action of the force, producing rotation.

Concept context

Moment of inertia, torque, angular momentum, rolling motion. Very high JEE weightage.
