Explanation Given info: The mass of the cartons of cereal is 0.62 kg , the length of the basket is 0.61 m and the mass of the milk is 1.9 kg . The formula of x -coordinate of the center of mass of any system is, x = m 1 x 1 + m 2 x 2 m 1 + m 2 (1) Here, m 1 is the mass of the first object. m 2 is the mass of the second object. x 1 is the position of the first mass. x 2 is the position of the second mass. Consider the left end of the basket as origin then the position of the mass of the two cartons is, x 1 = 0 m The total mass of the two cartons is, m 1 = 2 ( 0.62 kg ) = 1.24 kg As the center of mass is at center of the basket, x = L 2 Here, L is the length of the basket. Substitute 0.61 m for L in above expression
