Two bodies of masses $$8 \mathrm{~kg}$$ are placed at the vertices $$A$$ and $$B$$ of an equilateral triangle $$A B C$$. A third body of mass $$2 \mathrm{~kg}$$ is placed at the centroid $$G$$ of the triangle. If $$A G=B G=C G=1 \mathrm{~m}$$, where should a fourth body of mass $$4 \mathrm{~kg}$$ be placed, so that the resultant force on the $$2 \mathrm{~kg}$$ body is zero?
