My book did not give an equation for solving this particular question. However I do like the idea of finding a balance in the object in order to find the center of mass. Thanks!
Homework Statement
Assuming that the combined mass of the balls is greater than the combined mass of the cords, but that the cords do have some mass, where is the center of mass for the system shown below?

What can be concluded about the tension in the cords holding the balls stationary in Systems I and II when both systems are at rest?
In both systems the mass of the larger ball M2 is exactly twice the mass of the smaller ball...
