Two particles of mass $5\, kg$ and $10\, kg$ respectively are attached to the two ends of a rigid rod of length $1\, m$ with negligible mass. The centre of mass of the system from the $5\, kg$ particle is nearly at a distance of $..........\, cm$.

$A$ point mass $m_A$ is connected to a point mass $m_B$ by a massless rod of length $l$ as shown in the figure. It is observed that the ratio of the moment of inertia of the system about the two axes $AA$ and $BB$,which are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the rod,is $\frac{I_{BB}}{I_{AA}} = 3$. The distance of the centre of mass of the system from the mass $m_A$ is
