A uniform square lamina \(A B C D\) of side 6 cm has a semicircular piece, with \(A B\) as diameter, removed (see diagram).
- Find the distance of the centre of mass of the remaining shape from \(C D\).
The remaining shape is suspended from a fixed point by a string attached at \(C\) and hangs in equilibrium.
- Find the angle between \(C D\) and the vertical.

A uniform rod \(A B\), of mass 3 kg and length 4 m , is in limiting equilibrium with \(A\) on rough horizontal ground. The rod is at an angle of \(60 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal and is supported by a small smooth peg \(P\), such that the distance \(A P\) is 2.5 m (see diagram). Find - the force acting on the rod at \(P\),
- the coefficient of friction between the ground and the rod.
