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 , , and .
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= lengthwidththicknessdensity
and x1=1cm and y1= 5cm
For part B:
and x2=4cm and y2= 1cm
For part C:
and x3=4cm and y3= 5cm
For part D :
and x4=4cm and y4= 9cm
Let the centre of mass of the whole figure is then
Therefore the centre of mass of the given E shaped figure is (2.63cm, 5cm).
