To calculate the coordinates of the center of mass of a system of point masses, we can use the following formulas: 1. **Formula for the x-coordinate of the center of mass (X_COM)**: \[ X_{COM} = \frac{M_1 X_1 + M_2 X_2 + M_3 X_3}{M_1 + M_2 + M_3} \] 2. **Formula for the y-coordinate of the center of mass (Y_COM)**: ...
