Q. For a system of two particles, CM divides the line joining them in the ratio

दो कणों की प्रणाली के लिए, सीएम उन्हें जोड़ने वाली रेखा को अनुपात में विभाजित करता है

A
m1 : m2
एम1 : एम2
B
m2 : m1
एम2 : एम1
C
m1 + m2 : 1
एम1 + एम2 :1
D
1 : 1
11

Explanation

The center of mass (CM) of two particles with masses m1m_1 and m2m_2 lies closer to the heavier mass. It divides the line joining them in the inverse ratio of their masses, i.e., m₂ : m₁, because the heavier object pulls the CM closer.

Mathematically:

xCM=m1x1+m2x2m1+m2x_{CM} = \frac{m_1 x_1 + m_2 x_2}{m_1 + m_2}
