problem

Consider the following system situated in a rotating 2D Cartesian coordinate system. The system rotates with an angular velocity `Ω=Ωz^ {\vec \Omega}=\Omega \hat z ` about the z-axis. There are two point masses `M1 M_1 ` and `M2 M_2 ` situated at the coordinates `(x1,0) (x_1, 0) ` and `(x2,0) (x_2, 0) ` respectively. The center of mass of `M1 M_1 ` and `M2 M_2 ,` `O O ,` happens to coincide with the origin of the coordinate system. Now, we introduce a third point mass \\( m \\), is situated at `(x,y) (x, y) `. Suppose \\(x_1\\) and \\(x_2\\) satisfy the condition `x2x1=R x_2 - x_1 = R `. For convenience, we introduce the dimensionless constants `α=M2M1+M2 \alpha=\frac{M_{2}}{M_{1}+M_{2}} ` and `β=M1M1+M2 \beta=\frac{M_1}{M_1+M_2} ` (which might be used later in your calculation). Find the equilibrium point for mass \\(m \\) of the form \\((X,Y) = (x,0) \\) satisfying the condition `x<0 x < 0 `, in terms of \\(R, \\alpha \\). Keep only terms that include \\( \\alpha^0 \\), \\( \\alpha^1 \\) as part of the expression. Think step by step and solve the problem below. At the end of your response, write your final answer on a new line starting with “FINAL ANSWER”. It should be an answer to the question such as providing a number, mathematical expression, formula, or entity name, without any extra commentary or providing multiple answer attempts.
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Consider the following system situated in a rotating 2D Cartesian coordinate system. The system rotates with an angular velocity `(Ω)→=Ω(z)^` about the z-axis. There are two point masses `M₁` and `M₂` situated at the coordinates `(x₁,0)` and `(x₂,0)` respectively. The center of mass of `M₁` and `M₂ ,` `O,` happens to coincide with the origin of the coordinate system. Now, we introduce a third point mass \\( m \\), is situated at `(x,y)`.

Suppose \\(x_1\\) and \\(x_2\\) satisfy the condition `x₂−x₁=R`. For convenience, we introduce the dimensionless constants `α=(M₂)/(M₁+M₂)` and `β=(M₁)/(M₁+M₂)` (which might be used later in your calculation).

Find the equilibrium point for mass \\(m \\) of the form \\((X,Y) = (x,0) \\) satisfying the condition `x<0`, in terms of \\(R, \\alpha \\). Keep only terms that include \\( \\alpha^0 \\), \\( \\alpha^1 \\) as part of the expression.
