AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to maintain the position of the center of mass (CM) of the system unchanged when one of the masses is moved. ### Given: - Mass \( m_1 = 10 \, \text{g} = 0.01 \, \text{kg} \) - Mass \( m_2 = 20 \, \text{kg} \) - Displacement of \( m_1 \) (denoted as \( s_1 \)) = 2 cm = 0.02 m ### Step 1: Understand the Center of Mass Formula ...
