Question
Four beads, each of mass \( m = 1 \) kg, are attached at various locations to a ring, also of mass \( m = 1 \) kg, and radius \( R = 1 \) m (see figure). Find the coordinates of the center of mass of the system consisting of the ring and the beads.

Angle \( A \), located between the first bead and the horizontal, is equal to \( 43^\circ \). Angle \( B \), located between the horizontal and the second bead, is equal to \( 50^\circ \). Angle \( C \), located between the third bead and the horizontal, is equal to \( 68^\circ \). Angle \( D \), located between the horizontal and the fourth bead, is equal to \( 31^\circ \).

\[ x_{cm} = \quad \text{m} \]

\[ y_{cm} = \quad \text{m} \]

**Diagram Explanation:**

- The diagram features a circle representing a ring, centered around the origin of an \( xy \)-coordinate system.
- Four beads, labeled \( m_1, m_2, m_3, \) and \( m_4 \), are positioned at various angles on the circumference.
- Light blue lines connect each bead to the center of the circle, depicting their radial positions.
- Arrows labeled \( A, B, C, \) and \( D \) indicate the angles between the horizontal axis and the lines connecting the center to each bead.
- The \( x \)-axis runs horizontally, and the \( y \)-axis runs vertically, intersecting at the center.
