**Problem Statement:** A uniform sheet of plywood measuring \(4L\) by \(4L\) is centered on the origin, as shown in the figure, where \(L = 1.20 \, \text{m}\). One quarter of the sheet (the part in the first quadrant) is removed. Where is the center of mass of the remaining piece? **Solution:** The center of mass of the remaining piece is located at: - \(x = \, \underline{\hspace{20mm}} \, \text{m}\) - \(y = \, \underline{\hspace{20mm}} \, \text{m}\) **Diagrams Explained:** - **Left Diagram:** - Shows the initial \(4L \times 4L\) plywood centered on the origin. - The coordinate axes \(x\) and \(y\) intersect at the center, dividing the plywood into four equal quadrants. - Each side of the square is marked with \(4L\). - **Right Diagram:** - Illustrates the same plywood after removing one quarter from the first quadrant. - The remaining L-shaped piece is in the other three quadrants, with the cut-out portion clearly shown. The problem involves finding the new center of mass of the L-shaped piece that remains after the cut.

The drawing shows a human figure approximately in a sitting position. For the purposes of this problem, there are three parts to the figure, and the center of mass of each one is shown in the drawing. These parts are: (1) the torso, neck, and head (total mass = 44.7 kg) with a center of mass located on the y axis at a point 0.353 m above the origin, (2) the upper legs (mass = 18.5 kg) with a center of mass located on the x axis at a point 0.157 m to the right of the origin, and (3) the lower legs and feet (total mass = 10.1 kg) with a center of mass located 0.490 to the right of and 0.261 m below the origin. Find the (a) x coordinate and (b) the y coordinate of the center of mass of the human figure. Note that the mass of the arms and hands (approximately 12% of the whole-body mass) has been ignored to simplify the drawing. +x
