Where is the centre of mass of a uniform thin ring?
AHalfway to the rim
BAt its geometric centre
CAt a point on rim
DAt the lowest point
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. At its geometric centre
By symmetry the mass is balanced about the ring's centre, which is empty space, so the CM sits there.
