Two particles have masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. If the first particle $(m_1)$ is moved by a distance $d$ towards the center of mass,by what distance should the second particle $(m_2)$ be moved so that the center of mass of the system remains at the same position?

$A$ piece of wood of mass $0.03\, kg$ is dropped from the top of a $100\, m$ height building. At the same time,a bullet of mass $0.02\, kg$ is fired vertically upward,with a velocity $100\, ms^{-1}$,from the ground. The bullet gets embedded in the wood. Then the maximum height to which the combined system reaches above the top of the building before falling below is ........ $m$. $(g = 10\, ms^{-2})$

In a system,two particles of masses $m_1 = 3 \text{ kg}$ and $m_2 = 2 \text{ kg}$ are placed at a certain distance from each other. The particle of mass $m_1$ is moved towards the center of mass of the system through a distance of $2 \text{ cm}$. In order to keep the center of mass of the system at the original position,the particle of mass $m_2$ should move towards the center of mass by a distance of . . . . . . $\text{cm}$.
