A centrold is an object's geometric center. For an objector uniform composition, its centroid is also its center of mass. Often the centroid of a complex composite body is found by, first, cutting the body into regular shaped segments, and then by calculating the weighted average of the segments' centroids. An object is made from a uniform piece of sheet metal. The object has dimensions of a=1.45ft, where a is the diameter of the semi-circle, b=3.70ft, and c=2.45ft. A hole with diameter d=0.750ft is centered at (1.13,0.725).
