Three identical spheres,each of mass $2 M$,are placed at the corners of a right-angled triangle with mutually perpendicular sides equal to $4 \ m$ each. Taking the point of intersection of these two sides as the origin,the magnitude of the position vector of the centre of mass of the system is $\frac{4 \sqrt{2}}{x}$,where the value of $x$ is . . . . . .

On a horizontal frictionless frozen lake,a girl of mass $36 \,kg$ and a box of mass $9 \,kg$ are connected to each other by means of a rope. Initially,they are $20 \,m$ apart. The girl exerts a horizontal force on the box,pulling it towards her. How far has the girl travelled when she meets the box?

Three identical spheres,each of mass $M$,are placed at the corners of a right-angled triangle with mutually perpendicular sides equal to $2 \; m$ (see figure). Taking the point of intersection of the two mutually perpendicular sides as the origin,find the position vector of the center of mass.
