$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving in the $xy$-plane at a certain height from the ground along the $x$-axis. It suddenly explodes into two fragments of masses $m/4$ and $3m/4$. At that instant,the smaller fragment is at $y = 15 \ cm$. At this instant,the larger fragment will be at $y = $ ........ $cm$.
