particles is the weighted average of the position vector of the 
particles making up the system.
Reason: The position of the center of mass of a system is independent of co-ordinate system.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
: By definition, the position vector of center of mass of the system of 
particles,
Hence position of centre of mass of 
particles of the system is such that the product of total mass and position vector of centre of mass is equal to sum of the products of individual masses of the particles and their respective position vectors.
