Find the centre of mass of the CO molecule. .Given that the atoms are

1.	Find the centre of mass of the CO molecule. .Given that the atoms are 1.13 xx 10^(-10) m apart and the ratio of the masses of the two atoms m_(0)//m_( c) = 1.33
Answer» Solution :`x_(cm) = m_(1)x_(1) + m_(2)x_(2)//m_(1)x_(1) + m_(2) = 0 + m_( C)x_(2)//m_(0)+ m_( c) = x_(2)//l + (m_(0)// m_( c)) = 1.13 xx 10^(-10)//1 + 1.33 = 0.485 xx 10^(-10)`m from the oxygen ATOM.
