Four particles of masses $1\,kg, 2 \,kg, 3 \,kg$ and $4\, kg$ are placed at the four vertices $A, B, C$ and $D$ of a square of side $1\, m$ as shown in the figure. The coordinates of the centre of mass of the particles are:

  • A
    $(0.3 \,m, 0.5 \,m)$
  • B
    $(0.5 \,m, 0.3 \,m)$
  • C
    $(0.2 \,m, 0.2 \,m)$
  • D
    $(0.3 \,m, 0.2 \,m)$
