Find the center of mass of a water molecule, referring to FIGURE 9-43 for the relevant angles and distances. The mass of a hydrogen atom is 1.0 u, and the mass of an oxygen atom is 16 u, where u is the atomic mass unit (see Problem 39). Use the center of the oxygen atom as the origin of your coordinate system.
