Chapter 7, Problem 7.15CP
For the following computer problems, any appropriate software may be used. Input prompts should fully explain what is required of the user (the program should be user-friendly). The resulting output should be well labeled and self-explanatory. For spreadsheet problems, any appropriate software may be used.
7.15 Write a program that will calculate the location of the centroid for a tee shape similar to that of Problem 7.7. User input is to be the width and the depth of the two rectangles. (The upper element is called the flange; the lower element is called the web.)
