Given :
Three masses each of 5g side=a=60cm=60/100=0.6m 

To find :
Distance of its centre of mass from any of its vertex.

Solution:
From symmetry, we can conclude that centre of mass is located at the centre of circumcircle of triangle.

so distane of its centre of mass is nothing but  radius of its cirumcircle
R=√3/ 3 xa
=√3/ 3 x 0.6
=1.73/3 x 0.6

=0.576 x 0. 6=0.3456m
