Homework Statement
Find the x- and y-coordinates of the center of gravity of a 4.00 ft by 8.00 ft uniform sheet of plywood with the upper right quadrant removed as shown in the figure below. The dimensions of the cutout are a = 3.50 ft and b = 2.10 ft.
The Attempt at a Solution
I made 2 squares out of this.
The left square: 4.5 x 4 having a center point of (2.25, 2).
The right square: 3.5 x 1.9 having a center point of (1.75, .95)
I then subtracted these coordinates (2.25, 2) - (1.75, .95) = (.5, 1.05)
This is wrong.
