Question 1: Give the location of the centre of mass of a (i) sphere, (ii) cylinder, (iii) ring, and (iv) cube, each of uniform mass density. Does the centre of mass of a body necessarily lie inside the body?

Solution 1:
Geometric centre; No
The centre of mass (C.M.) is a point where the mass of a body is supposed to be concentrated.
For the given geometric shapes having a uniform mass density, the C.M. lies at their respective geometric centres.
The centre of mass of a body need not necessarily lie within it. For example, the C.M. of bodies such as a ring, a hollow sphere, etc., lies outside the body.

Question 3: A child sits stationary at one end of a long trolley moving uniformly with a speed V on a smooth horizontal floor. If the child gets up and runs about on the trolley in any manner, what is the speed of the CM of the (trolley + child) system?

Solution 3:
No change
The child is running arbitrarily on a trolley moving with velocity v. However, the running of the child will produce no effect on the velocity of the centre of mass of the trolley. This is because the force due to the child’s motion is purely internal. Internal forces produce no effect on the motion of the bodies on which they act. Since no external force is involved in the (child+trolley) system, the child’s motion will produce no change in the speed of the centre of mass of the trolley.
