Which of the following points is the likely position of the center of mass of the system shown in the figure?
1. \(A\)
2. \(B\)
3. \(C\)
4. \(D\)
Explanation: The centre of the mass of a system lies towards the part of the system having a bigger mass. In the above diagram, the lower part is heavier. Therefore, the CM of the system lies below the horizontal diameter.
Hence, option (3) is the correct answer.
