One astronaut is 75kg, and another who is 3.4 m away in the x-direction is 85kg. How far from the first astronaut is their mutual center of mass?
Do not actually solve the problem numerically or algebraically, just pick the one equation and define the relevant knowns and single unknown.
Three masses, 1.0 kg, 2.0 kg, and 3.0 kg, are located at (0, 0), (1.0 m, 1.0 m), and (2.0 m, -2.0 m),respectively. What is the location of the center of mass of the system?
