Q7 of 119 Page 159

Calculate the velocity of the centre of mass of the system of particles shown in figure (9-E3).



Where, î and ĵ are the unit vectors in the direction of x axis and y axis of 2D coordinate system respectively.






∴ Velocity of the centre of mass of the system = 0.20 m/s at 45° below the direction towards right.
