To find the center of mass of the three point masses located at the corners of an equilateral triangle, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the positions of the masses Let’s place the equilateral triangle in the coordinate system: - Mass \( m_1 = 2 \, \text{kg} \) at point \( A(0, 0) \) - Mass \( m_2 = 4 \, \text{kg} \) at point \( B(1, 0) \) - Mass \( m_3 = 6 \, \text{kg} \) at point \( C\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) \) ...
