    This document contains solutions to problems determining the coordinates of the centroids of composite 2D shapes. Problem 7.29 finds the centroid of a rectangle minus two holes to be (6.97 in, 3.79 in). Problem 7.30 calculates the centroid of a half circle minus an inner half circle to be (8.488 in, 0 in). Problem 7.34 divides a composite shape into four areas and calculates its centroid to be (9 in, 13.51 in).

    Solution: The strategy is to nd the centroid for the half circle area, and use the result in the composite algorithm. The area: The element of area is a vertical strip y high and dx wide. From the equation p of the circle, y D R2 x 2 . The p height of the strip will be twice the positive value, so that dA D 2 R2 x 2 dx , from which
