Question
A stone is dropped at \( t = 0 \). A second stone, with 2 times the mass of the first, is dropped from the same point at \( t = 110 \, \text{ms} \). 

(a) How far below the release point is the center of mass of the two stones at \( t = 440 \, \text{ms} \)? (Neither stone has yet reached the ground.)

(b) How fast is the center of mass of the two-stone system moving at that time?

For both parts (a) and (b), there are input fields provided for:
- Number: Enter the numerical value.
- Units: Select the appropriate unit from a dropdown menu.
