Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement:**
3. For the plate shown to the right, determine the location of the centroid.
**Answer:**
\(\bar{x} = 0\), \(\bar{y} = 0.018 \text{ in.}\)
---
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram illustrates a composite plate consisting of a semicircle and a rectangle, with a smaller square cutout.
- The semicircle has a radius of 6 inches and is positioned on the left side.
- The rectangle is positioned to the right of the semicircle, measuring 5 inches in width and 6 inches in height.
- A square with sides of 2 inches is cut out from the top right corner of the rectangle.
- Dimensions are marked to show distances across the structure:
- The distance from the leftmost edge to the edge of the semicircle is 3 inches.
- Horizontal and vertical axes are marked as x and y, respectively.
**Key Measurements:**
- Semicircle radius \(r = 6\) inches.
- Rectangular section: 5 inches wide, full height of 6 inches.
- Cutout square: 2 inches by 2 inches.
The centroid's coordinates are provided with respect to the origin set at the center of the semicircle's flat side.
