A thin circular ring of mass M and radius R rotates about an axis through its centre and perpendicular to its plane, with a constant angular velocity ω.

Three identical spheres, each of mass 3 kg are placed touching each other with their centres lying on a straight line. The centres of the sphere are marked at P, Q and R respectively. The distance of centre of mass of system from P is
