Three masses are placed on the \(x\)-axis: \(300~\text{g}\) at origin, \(500~\text{g}\) at \(x= 40~\text{cm}\) and \(400~\text{g}\) at \(x= 70~\text{cm}.\) The distance of the centre of mass from the origin is:
1. \(45~\text{cm}\)
2. \(50~\text{cm}\)
3. \(30~\text{cm}\)
4. \(40~\text{cm}\)
Two persons of masses \(55~\text{kg}\) and \(65~\text{kg}\) respectively, are at the opposite ends of a boat. The length of the boat is \(3.0~\text{m}\) and weighs \(100~\text{kg}.\) The \(55~\text{kg}\) man walks up to the \(65~\text{kg}\) man and sits with him. If the boat is in still water, the centre of mass of the system shifts by:
1. \(3.0~\text{m}\)
2. \(2.3~\text{m}\)
3. zero
4. \(0.75~\text{m}\)
