Coordinates of the center of mass of the system


Discuss the below:

Q: A system of four buckets forms a square as shown in the figure. Initially, the buckets have different masses (it is not known how these masses are related). A student begins to add water gradually to the bucket located at the origin. As a result, what happens to the coordinates of the center of mass of the system of buckets?

The x coordinate stays the same; the y coordinate increases.

The x coordinate stays the same; the y coordinate decreases.

The x coordinate increases; the y coordinate stays the same.

The x coordinate decreases; the y coordinate stays the same.

The x coordinate increases; the y coordinate increases.

The x coordinate decreases; the y coordinate decreases.

The x coordinate stays the same; the y coordinate stays the same.

There is not enough information to answer the question.
