Problem
We can find an unofficial interpretation that the red, blue and white colors on the Czech flag symbolize blood, sky (i.e. air) and purity. Find the position of the center of mass of the flag interpreted in this way, assuming that purity is massless. The aspect ratio is 3:2 and the point where all three parts meet is located exactly in the middle. Look up the blood and air densities.
Bonus Try to calculate the position of the center of mass of the Slovak flag as accurately as possible. You can use different approximations.
