1. Your first task is to find a combination of masses for three balls that place their center of mass at point (5,2), i.e., midway between Balls 1 and 2 in the x-direction, and midway from the x-axis to Ball 3 in the y-direction. You will need to change the mass for each of the three balls to accomplish this.

2. After you discover a combination of masses for the three balls that place the center of mass at point (5,2), predict a different combination of masses that also achieves this. (Hint: look for a pattern in the combination of masses that worked to help you predict a second successful combination).

3. Test if your prediction for the second combination works. If so, please explain the basis for your prediction in your Experiment Report for this module. If your predicted mass combination doesn't work, no problem. Try to figure out why it doesn't work and try again to make a new prediction based on the first successful combination of masses you found. Repeat until you find a second combination of masses that place the center of mass at point (5,2).
