Answer
Step-by-step solution
3 stepsCalculate the moment of each component about the line AB.
The moment of each component is its weight multiplied by the distance of its centroid from AB.
-
For triangle ADE: Moment
-
For rectangle EFCD: Moment
-
For triangle F1CB: Moment
-
Calculate the total moment about AB.
Total Moment = Moment + Moment + Moment
Calculate the y-coordinate of the centroid () for the entire lamina.
The y-coordinate of the centroid is the total moment divided by the total weight of the lamina.
The total weight of the lamina is given in your table as .Cancel out :
Rationalize the denominator:
The y-coordinate of the centroid from AB is m.
The final answer is .
