Answer:
x = 3.76 cm
y = 3.76 cm
Explanation:
This composite shape can be modeled as a square (7.2 cm × 7.2 cm) minus a quarter circle in the lower left corner (3.6 cm radius) and a right triangle in the upper right corner (3.6 cm × 3.6 cm).
The centroid of a square (or any rectangle) is at x = b/2 and y = h/2.
The centroid of a quarter circle is at x = y = 4r/(3π).
The centroid of a right triangle is at x = b/3 and y = h/3.
Build a table listing each shape, the coordinates of its centroid (x and y), and its area (A). Use negative areas for the shapes that are being subtracted.
Next, multiply each coordinate by the area (Ax and Ay), sum the results (∑Ax and ∑Ay), then divide by the total area (∑Ax / ∑A and ∑Ay / ∑A). The result will be the x and y coordinates of the center of mass.

Answer:
b. The net force is the same as the centripetal force.
Explanation:
When bucket is revolving in circle of constant radius then the net force at any moment of time is always towards the center of the circle which is given as




now we have


while the weight of the sea shell is given as



so here net force is more than the weight which means it must have normal force along with the weight of sea shells at that position
so correct answer will be
b. The net force is the same as the centripetal force.
