A piece of wire of uniform cross section is bent in the shape shown above (for picture: http://tinypic.com/r/23tjr45/5). What are the coordinates of the center of mass?
Relevant equations:
Was I supposed to integrate the wire on all 4 sides? I wasn't sure exactly what to do at this point.The attempt at a solution
Basically, I eyeballed the graph and picked a point in the far right corner because I thought that would be where the most mass is concentrated. The correct answer, however, is (A)(15/14, 6/7)
