Two small$-$sized objects are placed on a uniform $9\mathrm{.}00$ kg plastic beam $3\mathrm{.}00$ m long, as shown in $($Figure $1).$

Assume that $\backslash ($ m$\_\{1\}=7\mathrm{.}80\backslash$mathrm$\{$~kg$\}\backslash )$ and $\backslash ($ m$\_\{2\}=7\mathrm{.}25\backslash$mathrm$\{$~kg$\}\backslash ).$

Find the location of the center of mass of this system by setting $\backslash ($ x$=0\backslash )$ at the left end of the beam.
