Find centre of mass

Dear student 

Let divide the figure into four parts A, B, C and D as shown in figure

and their masses are m1, m2, m3 and m4 and centre of masses are x1 y1x2 y2x3 y3 and x4 y4.
Assume that the thickness and density are t and d and lower left corner of part A as the origin then
For part A:
mass m1= length×width×thickness×density
        m1=10×2×t×dm1=20td
and x1=1cm and y1= 5cm

For part B:

     m2=4×2×t×dm2=8td
and ​x2=4cm and y2= 1cm

For part C:
     m3=4×2×t×dm3=8td
and x3=4cm and y3= 5cm

For part D :
     m4=4×2×t×dm4=8td
and x4=4cm and y4= 9cm

Let the centre of mass of the whole figure is X Y then 
      X=m1x1+m2x2+m3x3+m4x4m1+m2+m3+m4X=20td×1+8td×4+8td×4+8td×420td+8td+8td+8tdX=2.63 cmand Y=m1y1+m2y2+m3y3+m4y4m1+m2+m3+m4Y=20td×5+8td×1+8td×5+8td×920td+8td+8td+8tdY=5cm

Therefore the centre of mass of the given E shaped figure is (2.63cm, 5cm).
