Three identical spheres,each of mass $2 M$,are placed at the corners of a right-angled triangle with mutually perpendicular sides equal to $4 \ m$ each. Taking the point of intersection of these two sides as the origin,the magnitude of the position vector of the centre of mass of the system is $\frac{4 \sqrt{2}}{x}$,where the value of $x$ is . . . . . .

The figure below shows a shampoo bottle in a perfect cylindrical shape. In a simple experiment,the stability of the bottle filled with different amounts of shampoo volume is observed. The bottle is tilted from one side and then released. Let the angle $\theta$ depict the critical angular displacement resulting in the bottle losing its stability and tipping over. Choose the graph that correctly depicts the fraction $f$ of shampoo filled ($f=1$ corresponds to completely filled) versus the tipping angle $\theta$.
