Answer 3

simple first the centre of upper 2 boxes is on the mid point of the midline similarly for the second then third then these pnts forn a triangle whose centroid is the required point if the solid is uniformly denser:)

Answer 4

How do we mathematically calculate the x and y coordinate of the center of mass?

Answer 5

Like by using this formula : (x)= m1*x 1+ m2*x2/m1+m2

Answer 6

oh let me try

Answer 7

i got the triangle

Answer 8

Now, how do i get the x and y component of the whole system

Answer 9

i think now you will get it and if u have the problem in centre of triangle then ask me again i will clearify you:)
