square EF is taken away and placedin the position FK, forminga new figure, ADKHGE.We wish to find the centreof gravity of this new figure.The centre of gravity of theoriginal figure was at G,and a portion of it, EF,with its centre of gravity atg, has been shifted so thatits centre of gravity now is… … Fig. 48. In this case, if 215 be a side of the square— A = 4^^« = 3 _gg = b^2 If- X b^2Ab and therefore GG = = 0-353^ In the same way, g^ being the horizontal shift of the centreof gravity of the corner EF, the horizontal shift of the centreof gravity of the whole area will be given by— GG a X gt…
