Homework Equations
cm = sum of all of the masses multiplied by their location / the sum of the masses
The Attempt at a Solution
since the sheet is said to be uniform then mass is left out. so i sum the center mass of each squares x coordinate and divide by 6, and i did the same for the y.
(5,25) (15,25)
(5,15)
(5, 5) (15,5) (25, 5)
respectively as pictured.
i get
(11.66, 13.33) as the center mass of the object.
is this thought process and answer correct?
