The ABC is a triangular plate of uniform thickness. The sides are in the ratio shown in the figure. I , I and I are the moments of inertia of the plate about AB, BC and CA respectively. Which one of the following relations one is correct ?
1
2
is maximum
3
4
Official Solution
Correct Option: (4)
The intersection of medians is the centre of mass of the triangle. Since the distances of centre of mass from the sides is related as x . Therefore I > I > I or I > I .

Two persons of masses and respectively, are at the opposite ends of a boat. The length of the boat is and weighs . The man walks up to the man and sits with him. If the boat is in still water the center of mass of the system shift by:
1
3.0 m
2
2.3 m
3
Zero
4
0.75 m
Official Solution
Correct Option: (3)
Since net external force on the system is zero hence C.O.M. remains unchanged.
