Three particles having their masses in the ratio `1 : 3 : 5` are kept at the vertices of a triangle `ABC`. Coordinate of `A`, `B` and `C` are `(9,-3)`, `(3,4)` and `(0,0)`. Find the coordinates of the centre of mass.
Hint. `x_(cm)=(sum_(i-1)^(3)m_(i)x_(i))/(sum_(i=1)^(3)m_(i))`, `y_(cm)=(sum_(i=1)^(3)m_(i)y_(i))/(sum_(i=1)^(3)m_(i))`
