SUMMARY
The center of gravity (CG) for a T-shaped object with arms measuring 60mm in length and 6mm in width can be calculated using the formula for uniform shapes. The CG is located at the intersection of the arms, specifically at a height of 33mm from the bottom of the T shape. This conclusion is derived from the understanding that for uniform shapes, the CG is typically at half the height of the object. The calculation performed was (60 + 6) / 2 = 33mm.
