Center of mass and torque test

Question 1 Write the expression for the position vector of the center of mass of n-particle system.

Question 2 Discus the motion of center of mass of the decay of radio-active nucleus into two parts.

Question 3 (a) Define the term torque (with the help of labeled diagram) . Give its units and dimensional formula. Show that it is product of force and its lever arm.

(b) State and explain the principle of moments of rotational equilibrium.

Question 4 Obtain expression for the work done by torque. Hence write the expression for power delivered by a torque.
