In the $HCl$ molecule,the separation between the nuclei of the two atoms is about $1.27 \; \mathring{A} \; (1 \; \mathring{A} = 10^{-10} \; m)$. Find the approximate location of the center of mass $(CM)$ of the molecule,given that a chlorine atom is about $35.5$ times as massive as a hydrogen atom and nearly all the mass of an atom is concentrated in its nucleus.
