### Problem StatementThe Xanthar mothership locks onto an enemy cruiser with its tractor beam (see the figure below); each ship is at rest in deep space with no propulsion following a devastating battle. The mothership is at \( x = 0 \) when its tractor beams are first engaged, a distance \( d = 205 \) xiles from the cruiser. Determine the \( x \)-position in xiles (measured from \( x = 0 \)) of the two spacecraft when the tractor beam has pulled them together. Model each spacecraft as a point particle with the mothership of mass \( M = 195 \) xons and the cruiser of mass \( m = 28.0 \) xons.### Diagram ExplanationThe diagram shows the Xanthar mothership (labeled \( M \)) on the left, and an enemy cruiser (labeled \( m \)) on the right. The two ships are aligned horizontally, with the mothership at position \( x = 0 \) and a distance \( d \) between them. The tractor beam is depicted as an orange cone extending from the mothership towards the cruiser.There is a horizontal arrow with a label \( x = 0 \) at the mothership's position and \( d \) indicating the initial distance to the cruiser. The prompt includes a "HINT" button but does not specify its content.### Calculation RequirementYou are required to determine the final \( x \)-position of both the mothership and the cruiser when they've been pulled together by the tractor beam, taking into account their respective masses. A text box is provided for entering the result in xiles.
