To locate the center of mass of the system consisting of two balls of mass `m` at two vertices of an equilateral triangle and another ball of mass `2m` at the third vertex, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Coordinates Let's assume the vertices of the equilateral triangle are as follows: - Vertex A (where the ball of mass `2m` is located) at coordinates (0, 0) - Vertex B (where one ball of mass `m` is located) at coordinates (l, 0) - Vertex C (where the other ball of mass `m` is located) at coordinates (l/2, (√3/2)l) ...
