From some reason Yc's result is different than mine. But, the solution manual and me are using the same X axis to calculate Yc (we're using a different Y axis to calculate Xc, though). Can someone explain to me what's wrong here?The question:
Calculate the center of mass of the material line in the drawing. The line is made out of uniform thin wire bent in the shape of a half-area and two straight lines. Measurements are in the drawing
