Question 2

A 4.0 ft by 8.0 ft sheet of plywood of uniform density and thickness lies in the 1st quadrant with its long side along the x axis, one corner at the origin, and the diagonally opposite corner at position (x, y) = (8.0 ft, 4.0 ft). The lower right 2.0 ft by 4.0 ft quarter of the sheet is removed from the sheet. What are the coordinates of the center of mass of the remaining portion of the sheet?
a. (2.0 ft, 4.0 ft)
c. (3.3 ft, 1.7 ft)
b. (1.0 ft, 2.0 ft)
d. (3.3 ft, 2.3 ft)
