A uniform lamina is made by joining a rectangle \(A B C D\), in which \(A B = C D = 0.56 \mathrm {~m}\) and \(B C = A D = 2 \mathrm {~m}\), and a square \(E F G A\) of side 1.2 m . The vertex \(E\) of the square lies on the edge \(A D\) of the rectangle (see diagram). The centre of mass of the lamina is a distance \(h \mathrm {~m}\) from \(B C\) and a distance \(v \mathrm {~m}\) from \(B A G\).
- Find the value of \(h\) and show that \(v = h\).
The lamina is freely suspended at the point \(B\) and hangs in equilibrium.
- State the angle which the edge \(B C\) makes with the horizontal.
Instead, the lamina is now freely suspended at the point \(F\) and hangs in equilibrium.
- Calculate the angle between \(F G\) and the vertical.
