3 particles of mass m1=1kg,m2=2kg,m3=3kg are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle of side 1m.Locate d position of center of mass.[my problem is that while solving if i consider m3 as the origin the d ans is cumin (5/12,(3^(1/2))/12) but according 2 d sol. given in book it has considered m1 as the origin & d ans's cumin (7/12,(3^(1/2))/4).so is it necessary dat i should take m1 as d origin if yes den why?]
