There are two masses `m_(1)` and `m_(2)`, placed at a distance `l` apart, let the centre of mass of this system is at a point named `C`. If `m_(1)` is displaced by `l_(1)` towards `C` and `m_(2)` is displaced by `l_(2)` away from `C`, find the distance from (C) where the new centre of mass will be located.
