Answer:
The position of centre of mass is .
Explanation:
Given the masses of two bodies, and
Location of masses in xy plane is at (0,1) and (1,0)
Thus the x - coordinates are and
And similarly y - coordinates are and
The center of mass is defined as the average position of all the elements of the system, weighted according to their masses.
For a system of two masses and , the position of center of mass with respect to x and y coordinates is given by
and
Thus,
Hence, the position of centre of mass is .
