I get that the forces form a couple. I could do the Torque calculation but I can't figure out the center of mass of the object

In the following question, I'm unable to find the center of mass to do the Torque calculation: Two 59.0 N forces are applied in opposite directions to the 13.6 cm long figure shown. If the angle θ=37.0°, what is the net torque about the center of mass? Image...

The energy will be conserved. The gravitational potential energy of the block gets converted into tranlational kinetic energy of the block and rotational kinetic energy of the cylinder. I got the answer... Thanks a lot Doc Al !

I have this question on my Circular motion assignment, but its somehow connected to free fall. I'm unable to picturize the situation mentioned in question... A 3.35 kg block is attached to a string that is wrapped around a 1.22 kg, 5.03 cm diameter hollow cylinder that is free to rotate on an...
