The object shown below is made from four masses placed in a rectangular orientation and connected with massless rods. If \( m_A = 8 \, \text{kg} \) and \( m_B = 2 \, \text{kg} \), and \( d_1 = 3 \, \text{m} \) and \( d_2 = 4 \, \text{m} \),

[Diagram Description: The diagram shows a rectangle with masses at each corner. The top two corners are labeled 'A' with mass \( m_A \) and the bottom two corners are labeled 'B' with mass \( m_B \). The vertical sides are labeled \( d_1 \) and the horizontal sides are labeled \( d_2 \). The center of the rectangle is marked with a plus sign (+).]

**a.) Concept:** (NOT FOR CREDIT)

Explain roughly where the object's center of mass is located, in relation to the geometrical center of the rectangle (marked with +).

**b.) Calculate:**

Find the exact location of its center of mass.
