Homework Statement
A uniform circular plate of radius 14 cm has a circular hole of radius 2 cm cut out of it. The center of the plate is at the origin of the coordinate system and the center of the hole is located along the x-axis a distance 4 cm from the origin. What is the position of the center of mass of the plate with the hole in it?
Homework Equations
Center of Mass (x)= (m1x1+m2x2)/(m1+m2)
The Attempt at a Solution
This one has me confused. I know that the hole will move the center of mass, but I'm not sure how. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
