Transcribed Image Text:**Problem No. 3**
**Objective:**
Determine the location \( y \) of the center of mass \( G \) of the assembly.
**Given:**
- The block has a mass of 3 kg.
- The semi-cylinder has a mass of 5 kg.
**Diagram Explanation:**
The accompanying diagram shows a composite shape consisting of a block and a semi-cylinder. The block is rectangular with a height of 300 mm and a base of 400 mm. Attached beneath it is a semi-cylinder with a radius of 200 mm.
- The center of mass \( G \) is marked on the assembly.
- The base of the semi-cylinder aligns horizontally with point \( O \), which is centered under the semi-cylinder.
- Dimensions are given in millimeters:
- The width of the block and the diameter of the semi-cylinder are both 400 mm.
- The height of the block is 300 mm.
- The radius of the semi-cylinder is 200 mm.
**Task:**
Calculate the vertical position \( y \), the center of mass along the assembly's vertical axis.
