Chapter , Problem 1(choose chapter or problem)
A 2.00 kg particle has the xy coordinates (%1.20 m, 0.500 m), and a 4.00 kg particle has the xy coordinates (0.600 m, %0.750 m). Both lie on a horizontal plane. At what (a) x and (b) y coordinates must you place a 3.00 kg particle such that the center of mass of the three-particle system has the coordinates (%0.500 m,%0.700 m)?
