Two bodies of masses $12 \,kg$ and $6 \,kg$ are projected simultaneously with velocities $15 \,ms^{-1}$ and $20 \,ms^{-1}$ respectively from the top of a tower of height $25 \,m$. The body of mass $12 \,kg$ is projected vertically upwards and the body of mass $6 \,kg$ is projected horizontally. Find the maximum height reached by the centre of mass of the system of two bodies from the ground. $(g = 10 \,ms^{-2})$ (in $\,m$)

Two balls are thrown in the air. The second ball is thrown $2 \ s$ after the first ball. What is the acceleration of the center of mass of the two balls while they are in the air?

Two blocks of equal masses $M$ are tied with a light string passing over a massless pulley on a wedge with angles $60^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ (assuming frictionless surfaces). The acceleration of the centre of mass of the two blocks is $\left(g=10 \text{ ms}^{-2}\right)$.
