\(A O B\) is a uniform lamina in the shape of a quadrant of a circle with centre \(O\) and radius 0.6 m (see diagram).
  1. Calculate the distance of the centre of mass of the lamina from \(A\). The lamina is freely suspended at \(A\) and hangs in equilibrium.
  2. Find the angle between the vertical and the side \(A O\) of the lamina.
