Look at the drawing given in the figure which has been drawn with ink of uniform line-thickness. The mass of ink used to draw each of the two inner circles, and each of the two line segments is $m$. The mass of the ink used to draw the outer circle is $6 \mathrm{~m}$. The coordinates of the centres of the different parts are: outer circle $(0,0)$, left inner circle $(-a, a)$, right inner circle $(a, a)$, vertical line $(0,0)$ and horizontal line $(0,-a)$. The $y$-coordinate of the centre of mass of the ink in this drawing is

Two masses $M$ and $m$ are attached to a vertical axis by weightless threads of combined length $l$. They are set in rotational motion in a horizontal plane about this axis with constant angular velocity $\omega $. If the tensions in the threads are the same during motion, the distance of $M$ from the axis is
