**CEE 2110-002 Statics Fall 2021 - Homework Assignment**

Prepared by Dr. Jane Liu

**Problem 2:**

The given composite areas in diagrams a), b), and c) can be divided into multiple elementary shapes. Their centroids can be found in the handout of Geometric Properties of Area Elements.

**Tasks:**

1. Determine the x and y coordinates of the centroid \((\bar{x}, \bar{y})\) and the area \(A\) of each divided elementary shape as shown.
2. Complete the table in diagram d) to fill in the information for each composite in a), b), and c).

**Diagrams Overview:**

- **Diagram a):** Shows a composite L-shaped area divided into three parts with dimensions in meters.
  
- **Diagram b):** Displays a composite trapezoidal shape divided into five parts with dimensions in inches.
  
- **Diagram c):** Demonstrates a composite shape with a quarter-circle and straight elements, divided into six parts with dimensions in inches.
  
- **Diagram d):** Contains an empty table to be filled out with the designated areas, centroid coordinates, and calculations for each part of the composites in the diagrams.

**Table Structure (Diagram d):**

- Columns include: 
  - Part number
  - Area (\(A_i\))
  - Centroid x-coordinate (\(\bar{x}_i\))
  - Centroid y-coordinate (\(\bar{y}_i\))
  - Product \(A_i \bar{x}_i\)
  - Product \(A_i \bar{y}_i\)

Ensure accurate calculations for each section and populate the table to reflect the composite areas and centroids.
