Masses $m, (1/2)(m/2), (1/2)^2(m/3), \dots, (1/2)^{N-1}(m/N), \dots \infty$ are placed at $x = 1, 2, 3, \dots, N, \dots \infty$ respectively. If the total mass is $M$,then the centre of mass of the system is:

  • A
    $(\frac{2m}{M}, 0, 0)$
  • B
    $(\frac{m}{2M}, 0, 0)$
  • C
    $(\frac{4m}{M}, 0, 0)$
  • D
    $(\frac{m}{4M}, 0, 0)$
