To find the center of mass of the system consisting of two bodies with given masses and positions, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the masses and their coordinates We have two bodies: - Mass \( m_1 = 0.5 \, \text{kg} \) at coordinates \( (x_1, y_1) = (-1, 2) \) - Mass \( m_2 = 1 \, \text{kg} \) at coordinates \( (x_2, y_2) = (3, 4) \) ### Step 2: Use the formula for the center of mass ...
