A certain carbon monoxide molecule consists of a carbon atom of mass mc = 14 u and an oxygen atom of mass mo = 18 u that are separated by a distance of d = 122 pm, where "u" is an atomic unit of mass.
a. Write a symbolic equation for the location of the center of mass of the carbon monoxide molecule relative to the position of the oxygen atom. This expression should be in terms of the masses of the atoms and the distance between them.Â
b. Calculate the numeric value for the center of mass of carbon monoxide in units of pm.Â
