Solution

It seems like your question is incomplete. You have not provided the position vectors for the two bodies. The position vector of the center of mass of a system is given by the formula:

R_cm = (m1r1 + m2r2) / (m1 + m2)

where:

  • R_cm is the position vector of the center of mass,
  • m1 and m2 are the masses of the two bodies,
  • r1 and r2 are the position vectors of the two bodies.

Please provide the position vectors for the two bodies so I can help you calculate the position vector of the center of mass.
