The diagram shows a circular object formed from a uniform semicircular lamina of weight 11 N and a uniform semicircular arc of weight 9 N . The lamina and the arc both have centre \(O\) and radius 0.7 m and are joined at the ends of their common diameter \(A B\).
- Show that the distance of the centre of mass of the object from \(O\) is 0.0371 m , correct to 3 significant figures.
The object hangs in equilibrium, freely suspended at \(A\).
- Find the angle between \(A B\) and the vertical and state whether the lowest point of the object is on the lamina or on the arc.
