a. Assuming the given coordinate system below and the location and mass of the following four
objects, calculate the center of mass of the system (answer in both Cartesian, and polar
coordinates). b. If Mass D is moving at a constant velocity of 13.0m/s towards -y, with all other
masses remaining stationary, what is the velocity of the center of mass of the system?
