Find the x- and y-coordinates of the center of mass for the irregularly shaped plate shown in the diagram. (The shaded region represents the plate.) You may assume that the plate has uniform thickness and uniform density. Be sure to clearly indicate which values you are using for m1, X1, m2, X2, m3, X3, etc.
