A tabletop gamer has a designed a game that requires three dice to be thrown onto a tray with a measurement grid. To add an extra degree of randomness, the coordinates of the center of mass of the three dice are used as well. The masses of the three dice are 11.90 g, 13.50 g and 17.10 g, and their respective coordinates after one particular throw are (.03050 m  -0.3750 m,) , ( -0.3890 m , 0.1810 m), and (-0.4750 m , -0.4790 m). What are the resulting coordinates of the center of mass of the dice , xcm and ycm?

Question

A tabletop gamer has a designed a game that requires three dice to be thrown onto a tray with a measurement grid. To add an extra degree of randomness, the coordinates of the center of mass of the three dice are used as well. The masses of the three dice are 11.90 g, 13.50 g and 17.10 g, and their respective coordinates after one particular throw are (.03050 m  -0.3750 m,) , ( -0.3890 m , 0.1810 m), and (-0.4750 m , -0.4790 m). What are the resulting coordinates of the center of mass of the dice , xcm and ycm?

B) three 78.4 g masses are connected in a triangular shape by mass less rigid wires as shown in the first image. The coordinates of each mass are given in centimeters. Mass A is located at (0,0), mass B is at  ( 13.2, 22.5) , and mass C is at ( 18.3, 13.4). Find the  x and y coordinates of the center of mass of the triangular object
