To find the instantaneous position of the center of mass of the system consisting of two particles, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given data - Mass of the first particle, \( m_1 = 200 \, \text{g} = 0.2 \, \text{kg} \) - Mass of the second particle, \( m_2 = 400 \, \text{g} = 0.4 \, \text{kg} \) - Position vector of the first particle, \( \mathbf{r}_1 = 3\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 9\hat{k} \, \text{m} \) - Position vector of the second particle, \( \mathbf{r}_2 = -2\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} - \hat{k} \, \text{m} \) ...
