Detailed Solution

Two blocks have masses of 2 kg and 1 kg , and the time interval is 2 sec.

The formula for acceleration is,

a=m2-m1g(m2+m1)=(2-1)g2+1=g3

The centre of mass's acceleration is expressed as,

acm=(m2-m1)g3m2+m1 acm=(2-1)g32+1 acm=g9

The centre of mass's travelled distance is given as,

s=12at2=12×g9×4=2.22m

Hence the correct answer is 2.22m.
