To locate the center of mass of a system of three particles (1.0 kg, 2.0 kg, and 3.0 kg) placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 1 meter, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the coordinates of the triangle vertices Let's place the equilateral triangle in the Cartesian coordinate system. We can set the vertices as follows: - Vertex A (1.0 kg) at coordinates \( (0.5, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}) \) - Vertex B (2.0 kg) at coordinates \( (0, 0) \) - Vertex C (3.0 kg) at coordinates \( (1, 0) \) ...
