Given the diagram below, find the centroid of the cross-section.

**Notes: the correct y-centroid is 0.0475m, but the correct x-centroid is unknown. How do I get to the correct answer? 

The image depicts a cross-sectional diagram of a T-shaped structure with the following dimensions:

1. The vertical section of the T has a width of 0.03 meters and a height of 0.06 meters.
2. The horizontal base of the T has a height of 0.02 meters.
3. The total width of the horizontal section, including the vertical section, is 0.07 meters. This is divided into three parts: the central 0.03 meters of the vertical section, flanked by 0.02 meters on each side. 

This simple geometric representation can be used to study structural properties such as the moment of inertia or stress distribution across T-shaped beams in engineering.
