To find the center of mass of a water molecule (H₂O), we need to consider the positions and masses of the atoms involved. The water molecule consists of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. The mass of the oxygen atom is given as \( m_0 = 16m_H \), where \( m_H \) is the mass of a hydrogen atom. The distance between the oxygen atom and each hydrogen atom is given as 1.02 Å, and the angle between the two hydrogen atoms is 105°. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Define the Masses:** Let the mass of a hydrogen atom \( m_H = 1 \) unit. Therefore, the mass of the oxygen atom \( m_O = 16 \) units. 2. **Set the Coordinate System:** ...
