The figure shows a composite shape comprising of two long slender rod bodies. The horizontal body has a length of 1.2m and mass 3kg; the second body has a length 0.4m and mass 1kg. The centre of gravity of each of the individual bodies can be found at their geometric centre, labelled G₁ and G₂ in the figure. The composite shape has symmetry about the x axis, thus its centre of gravity lies on the line 'y=0' as depicted in the figure. Calculate the x coordinate of the centre of gravity of the composite shape. 4 G₁ O O O O O 0.95 m 0.75 m 0.50 m Don't Know 0.60 m G₂

Question
Transcribed Image Text:The figure shows composite shape comprising of two long slender rod bodies. The horizontal body has a length of 1.2m and mass 3kg; the second body has a length 0.4m and mass 1kg. The centre of gravity of each of the individual bodies can be
found at their geometric centre, labelled G₁ and G2₂ in the figure.
The composite shape has symmetry about the x axis, thus its centre of gravity lies on the line 'y=0' as depicted in the figure. Calculate the x coordinate of the centre of gravity of the composite shape.
