A block of stone is cut so that its cross‑section is a parallelogram. The width of the bottom side is ?=0.655 m, the height of the top of the block is ℎ=0.915 m, and the top right corner overhangs a distance ?oh=0.195 m from the bottom corner as shown. Assume that the block is of uniform density, so that the center of gravity of the block is located at the geometric center.
