A uniform square of mass 4 kg and sides 2 m and negligible thickness is centered at the origin. Determine the center of mass of this square using symmetry arguments. Suppose then that the 1 m × 1 m section in the fourth quadrant is removed. Where is the center of mass of this new object? Do this calculation by treating the mass of each remaining 1 m × 1 m section as residing at its center of mass and then fnding the centers of mass of these “masses”.

To keep the calculations fairly simple, but still reasonable, we shall model a human leg that is 92.0 cm long (measured from the hip joint) by assuming that the upper leg and the lower leg (which includes the foot) have equal lengths and that each of them is uniform. For a 70.0 kg person, the mass of the upper leg is 8.60 kg, while that of the lower leg (including the foot) is 5.25 kg. Find the location of the center of mass of this leg, relative to the hip joint, if it is (a) fully extended, and (b) bent at the knee to form a right angle with the upper leg.
