An isolated particle of mass $m$ is moving in a horizontal $x-y$ plane along the $x-$axis at a certain height above the ground. It suddenly explodes into two fragments of masses $m/4$ and $3m/4$. An instant later,the smaller fragment is at $y = 15 \ cm$. The larger fragment at this instant is at $y = \dots \ cm$.
