Two blocks of masses $10\,kg$ and $4\,kg$ are connected by a spring of negligible mass and placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. An impulse gives a velocity of $14\,m/s$ to the heavier block in the direction of the lighter block. The velocity of the centre of mass is ........ $m/s$.

$A$ system consists of two particles of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ separated by a distance $r$. If the particle of mass $m_1$ is moved towards the centre of mass by a distance $d$,then the particle of mass $m_2$ must be moved by a distance $d'$ so that the centre of mass remains at the same position. The value of $d'$ is:
