its b) moment of mass

Hey,
if you mean for the centre of mass,
i think it is angular acceleration since bodies generally rotate about the centre of mass.

i think it is C. a body can rotate and hence have ang acc about it COM, but cant translate about COM, so cant have acc about COM. (for rigid bodies of course)

mass certainly cannot be zero at center of mass
 
by moment of mass, do you mean moment of inertia?
well if it means moment of inertia, it can only be zero if the axis of rotation passes through center of mass. thats a very specific case
 
acceleration of center of mass is 0 only for the very specific case if it is at rest
 
EDIT: acceleration ABOUT the center of mass is zero for all rigid bodies!
 
in the case of angular acceleration. angular acceleration is 0 only for the very particular case, if the axis of rotation passes through center of mass
 
for rigid bodies, acceleration about com has to be zero.
 
answer is C

^^acceleration of center of mass is 0 only for the very specific case if it is at rest.


it doesnt say acceleration of COM, it says acceleration ABOUT com.
i dont think its possible.

It is b
moment of mass is the product of mass and postion vector of mass about CoM...i guess.....not sure bout the definition...

yaar i think by moment of mass, he means moment of inertia. why on earth must that be 0 for center of mass?
it can be, it need not be.

Second moment of mass is moment of inertia, not first moment.

moment of mass of a body about its centre of mass is zero.
i will explain it to you.
mass moment : it is defined as the product of the mass of the particle and distance of the particle from the point about which mass moment is taken. it is a vector quantity and is directed from the point about which it is taken to the particle.
and always remember that the summition (addition) of mass moment of all the masses of a system about centre of mass is equals to zero.
hope i explained it clearly ..................

my dear tka , moment of mass doesn't means moment of inertia ??
where did you learnt this from ???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
