AI Generated Solution

To locate the center of mass of the system consisting of two uniform discs, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the configuration of the discs We have two discs: - Disc A (smaller disc) with radius \( R \) - Disc B (larger disc) with radius \( 2R \) The discs are stacked such that their peripheries touch each other. The center of Disc B is considered as the origin (0,0) in our coordinate system. ...
