In the HCl molecule, the separation between the nuclei of the two atoms is about 1.27 AËš (1 AËš=1010 m). Then the approximate location of the CM of the molecule is:
(Given that a chlorine atom is about 35.5 times as massive as a hydrogen atom and nearly all the mass of an atom is concentrated in its nucleus).

1. 1.235 AËš from H−atom
2. 2.41 AËš from Cl−atom
3. 3.40 AËš from Cl−atom
4. 1.07 AËš from H−atom

Two blocks are joined by a light spring of spring constant, k=1000 N/m, and are placed at rest on a horizontal frictionless table. A horizontal force of 6 N acts on the 2 kg block. The acceleration of the centre-of-mass of the system is:
                  
1. 3 m/s2
2. 2 m/s2
3. 1.5 m/s2
4. 4.5 m/s2
