The unit of length on each axis is one metre. The area of R is 2.4 m2 The centre of mass of R is at the point with coordinates (x, y) . (a) Use algebraic integration to show that y = 1.4 (4) Figure 2 shows a uniform lamina ABCD, which is the same size and shape as R. The lamina is freely suspended from C and hangs in equilibrium with CB at an angle θ° to the downward vertical. (b) Find the value of θ (6) _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________
