A system of four masses is composed into a square with equal sides of length 1.20 m. The lower left mass, m1 =  3.3 kg, is placed at the origin.  The upper left mass m2 =2.0 kg is placed along the y-axis.  The upper right mass, m3 = 5.7 kg and the final mass, along the y-axis is m4 = 1.5 kg.  

What is the x coordinate (in m) of the centre of mass? Answer
