Problem

A uniform L-shaped metal plate is formed by welding together two identical square plates, each 0.20 m on a side. One square is positioned with its edges along the positive x- and y-axes and its lower-left corner at the origin. The second square is attached directly above the first so that they share the entire top edge of the first square. Determine the y-coordinate of the center of mass of the composite plate. a) 0.15 m0.15\,\text{m} b) 0.20 m0.20\,\text{m} c) 0.25 m0.25\,\text{m} d) 0.23 m0.23\,\text{m}
