Let's solve this step by step manually. We are asked to find the center of mass (COM) of an $H_2O$ molecule. ### Given data: * Distance $r_{OH} = 0.96 \, \text{Å} = 0.96 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m}$ * Angle between H–O–H: $\theta = 105^\circ$ * Atomic masses: $m_H = 1 \, \text{u}, \, m_O = 16 \, \text{u}$ --- ### Step 1: Choose a coordinate system * Let the Oxygen be ______ ____ ___ _________ __________ _______ ______.
