Its 2 magnitude is (or) rw@* (or) vw. It is directed towards: the centre of the circle and variable. 148 Centripetal force (F,)is the force required by a particle to perform circular motion.

(when a body performs rotational motion, each particle moves on a cirde.

Radius of gyration, n 7 I mi Ke f = L Total mass 6)Both moment of inertia and radius of gyration depend upon the position of axis of rotation and the distribution of mass about the axis of rotation. But moment of inertia depends on mass also. @)Pwatel axes theorem states that the moment of inertia of a rigid body about any axis is equal to the moment of inertia about aparallel axis through its center of mass plus the product of the mass the body and the square of the distance between the two parallel axes.

Does the centre of mass of a body necessarily lie inside the body ? In all the four cases, as the mass density is uniform, centre of mass is located at their respective geometrical centres. No, it isnot necessary that the center of mass of a body should lie on the body for example in case of a circular ring. Center of mass is at the centre of thering, where there isno mass. L PRO 2. Sol. In the HC! molecule the separation between the nuclei of the two atoms isabout 1.27 A(1 A= 107m). Find the approximate location of the CM of the molecule, given that a chlorine atom is about 35.5 times as massive as a hydrogen atom and nearly all the mass. of an atom is concentrated in its nucleus. Let the mass of the H atom = m unit, mass ‘of the Ci atom = 35.5 m units
