TopicCentre of Mass 1
TypeParticles at coordinate positions
DifficultyStandard +0.8 This is a standard centre of mass problem requiring the student to find masses from given geometric information (same material implies proportional to length/area), set up the centre of mass formula with two components (disc and bead), and perform straightforward algebra. While it involves multiple steps and careful bookkeeping, it's a direct application of the standard technique with no novel insight required. The 4-mark allocation and 'show that' format confirm it's a routine calculation, though slightly above average difficulty due to the geometric setup and algebraic manipulation needed.
Spec6.04c Composite bodies: centre of mass

A child's toy consists of an iron disc of radius \(r\) and a vertical bead with \(3r\) at rail that is rigidly fixed to the disc so that the toy rocks as it rolls. The circumference of the disc is such that the disc and bead have the same material. Show that the centre of mass of the toy is at a distance \(\frac{27r}{10}\) from the centre of the disc. [4]
