**Homework 7**

**Problem 9.73**

The masses of the Earth and Moon are \(5.98 \times 10^{24} \, \text{kg}\) and \(7.35 \times 10^{22} \, \text{kg}\) respectively, and their centers are separated by \(3.84 \times 10^{8} \, \text{m}\).

**Part A**

Where is the CM (center of mass) of this system located?

\[ z_{\text{CM}} = \, \text{[Value]} \, \text{[Units]} \, \text{from the center of the Earth.} \]
