Center Of Mass

We are given the positions and masses of three particles:

• Particle 1 has mass at position
• Particle 2 has mass at position
• Particle 3 has mass at position

The x-coordinate of the center of mass of the system is given by the formula: Where: - is the mass of each particle, - is the x-coordinate of each particle. Substituting the given values: Simplifying: Thus, the x-coordinate of the center of mass is .

Correct Answer:

Correct Answer: (D)
