Learning Goal: To be able to find the center of gravity, the center of mass, and the centroid of a composite body. A centroid is an object's geometric center. For an object xˉ, the x-coordinate of the body's centroid. of uniform composition, its centroid is also its center of mass. Often the centroid of a complex composite body is found by, first, cutting the body into regular shaped segments, and then by calculating the weighted average of the segments' centroids.An object is made from a uniform piece of sheet metal. The object has dimensions of a=1.25ft, where a is the diameter of the semi-circle, b=3.94ft, and c=2.50ft. A hole with diameter d= 0.500ft is centered at 1.09,0.625). Figure xln00 Part C Find yˉ, the y-coordinate of the body's centroid. Express your answer numerically in feet to three significant figures.
