Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Mass of the first particle
Mass of the second particle
Mass of the third particle
xy coordinate of the first particle
xy coordinate of the second particle
coordinate of the centre of mass of three-particle system
We need to find the xy coordinate of the third particle.
Solution:
First we calculate total mass of the three-particle system.
x coordinate of the centre of mass of the three-particle system are given as;
Rewrite the equation for
Part a.
Substitute all given values in above equation.
Part b.
Similarly for coordinate.
Substitute all given values in above equation.
Therefore, xy coordinate of the third particle
