The coordinates of the centre of mass for a uniform rod of length L lying on y-axis and one of its end is on the origin -

Option: 1

\left ( \frac{L}{2},0,0 \right )      


Option: 2

\left ( 0,\frac{L}{2},0 \right )


Option: 3

\left ( 0,0,\frac{L}{2} \right )


Option: 4

\left ( \frac{L}{2},\frac{L}{2},\frac{L}{2} \right )

Since one end of the uniform rod is at the origin, the centre of mass is at the midpoint of the length of the rod.

So, if the length of the rod is L, then the centre of mass lies a \frac{L}{2}.

Now, we can see from the question that the rod is lying on the y-axis so the coordinates will be - \left ( 0,\frac{L}{2},0 \right )
