Solution

The correct option is A 10(π1) cm
The radius of the disc is R=30 cm.
Let the centre of mass of the triangle and disc be at C and O respectively.
Mass of the disc, m1=σ×(πR2)
Mass of the triangle, m2=σ(12×2R×R)=σ×R2


Taking point O as the origin, center of mass of triangular portion lies at R3 from the base.
x-coordinate of COM of triangle will be zero due to symmetry. Let the center of mass of the remaining portion be at (0,d).
Then, applying formula for y coordinate of COM.
d=m1(0)m2(R3)m1m2
=(σπR2)(0)(σR2)R3σπR2σR2
=R3π1=R3(π1)

Distance of center of mass of remaining portion from the center of disc O is |d|.
|d|=R3(π1)=30 cm3(π1)
(R=30 cm given)
|d|=10(π1) cm
