Figure 9-35 shows a three-particle system, with masses \(m_{1} = 3.0kg, \quad m_{2} = 4.0kg\), and \(m_{3} = 8.0 kg\). The scales on the axes are set \(byx_{s} = 2.0 m\) and \(y_{s} = 2.0 m\). What are (a) the x coordinate and (b) the y coordinate of the system’s center of mass? (c) If \(m_{3}\) is gradually increased, does the center of mass of the system shift toward or away from that particle, or does it remain stationary?
