First you need to find the center of mass To do this use the equation MR m1r1 m2r2 Lets just say that baseball 1 is at a position r 0 then baseball 2 would be at r 1m So MR 1kg 0m 2kg 1m MR 2 kgm Then to find the position of the center of mass simply divide by the total mass M which is 1kg 2kg 3kg R 2kgm 3kg R 23 m    See Answer
