Center of mass of a system of three particles of masses $1 \, kg, 2 \, kg, 3 \, kg$ is at the point $(1 \, m, 2 \, m, 3 \, m)$ and center of mass of another group of two particles of masses $2 \, kg$ and $3 \, kg$ is at point $(-1 \, m, 3 \, m, -2 \, m)$. Where should a $5 \, kg$ particle be placed so that the center of mass of the system of all these six particles shifts to the center of mass of the first system?
