Randall D. Knight β€” Rotation of a Rigid Body: Problem 51

An 800 g steel plate has the shape of the isosceles triangle shown in FIGURE P12.51. What are the x- and y-coordinates of the center of mass? Hint: Divide the triangle into vertical strips of width dx, then relate the mass dm of a strip at position x to the values of x and dx.

πŸ“ Solution Approach

Given: 800 g
