Answer:

a) The x coordinate of the third mass is -1.562 meters.

b) The y coordinate of the third mass is -0.944 meters.

Explanation:

The center of mass of a system of particles ( $\vec r_{cm}$ ), measured in meters, is defined by this weighted average:

$\vec r_{cm} = \frac{\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}\,m_{i}\cdot \vec r_{i}}{\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}\,m_{i}}$ (1)

Where:

$m_{i}$ - Mass of the i-th particle, measured in kilograms.

$\vec r_{i}$ - Location of the i-th particle with respect to origin, measured in meters.

If we know that $\vec r_{cm} = (-0.500\,m,-0.700\,m)$ , $m_{1} = 1\,kg$ , $\vec r_{1} = (-1.20\,m, 0.500\,m)$ , $m_{2} = 4.50\,kg$ , $\vec r_{2} = (0.600\,m, -0.750\,m)$ and $m_{3} = 4\,kg$ , then the coordinates of the third particle are:

$(-0.500\,m, -0.700\,m) = \frac{(1\,kg)\cdot (-1.20\,m,0.500\,m)+(4.50\,kg)\cdot (0.600\,m,-0.750\,m)+(4\,kg)\cdot \vec r_{3}}{1\,kg+4.50\,kg+4\,kg}$

$(-4.75\,kg\cdot m, -6.65\,kg\cdot m) = (-1.20\,kg\cdot m, 0.500\,kg\cdot m) + (2.7\,kg\cdot m, -3.375\,kg\cdot m) +(4\cdot x_{3},4\cdot y_{3})$

$(4\cdot x_{3}, 4\cdot y_{3}) = (-6.25\,kg\cdot m,-3.775\,kg\cdot m)$

$(x_{3},y_{3}) = (-1.562\,m,-0.944\,m)$

a) The x coordinate of the third mass is -1.562 meters.

b) The y coordinate of the third mass is -0.944 meters.
