The center of mass is 2.25 which is point C.
A place at which the entire mass of a body or all the masses of a system of particles appears to be concentrated is defined as the center of mass of a body or system of particles.
The center of mass for straightforward stiff objects with homogeneous density is found at the centroid. The center of mass will always rest immediately underneath a shape if it is suspended from a single point. Therefore, the center of mass is where two lines that are drawn down downward from two different places on a shape (one at a time) intersect.
Here, we have 5 masses so the center of mass will be at the third block.
But here we remove a block and the left masses are:
o.5, 1.5, 2.5 and 4.5
X(cm) = m(0.5) + m(1.5) + m(2.5) + m(4.5) / 4m
X(cm) = m(0.5 + 1.5 + 2.5 + 4.5) / (4) m
[m will be cancelled out]
X(cm) = 9 / 4 = 2.25 which is point C
Therefore, the center of mass is 2.25 which is point C.
