A rectangular brick is thrown in a projectile motion in two configurations: along the breadth and along the length as shown in the figures.

In which of the configurations will the brick travel a longer range? Assume exactly similar initial conditions for both the configurations.
(Hint: Consider a real life situation)

Dear student,

It will travel longer distance when thrown along the breadth, because the drag due to air would be less in this case.
Along the length configuration, more surface area will face the air drag and hence would cover less distance.

Thanks.

The length of a massless rod is measured using vernier callipers having 10 vernier scale divisions and least count of 0.1 mm. Two masses 1.00 ± 0.01 kg and 4.00 ± 0.02 kg are attached to its ends. If reading of vernier scale is 5 divisions coinciding with 1.3 cm, what is the % error in locating centre of mass from lighter mass
