The diagram shows a uniform lamina \(A B C D\) with \(A B = 0.75 \mathrm {~m} , A D = 0.6 \mathrm {~m}\) and \(B C = 0.9 \mathrm {~m}\). Angle \(B A D =\) angle \(A B C = 90 ^ { \circ }\).
- Show that the distance of the centre of mass of the lamina from \(A B\) is 0.38 m , and find the distance of the centre of mass from \(B C\).
The lamina is freely suspended at \(B\) and hangs in equilibrium. - Find the angle between \(B C\) and the vertical.

Two particles \(P\) and \(Q\) have masses 0.4 kg and \(m \mathrm {~kg}\) respectively. \(P\) is attached to a fixed point \(A\) by a light inextensible string of length 0.5 m which is inclined at an angle of \(60 ^ { \circ }\) to the vertical. \(P\) and \(Q\) are joined to each other by a light inextensible vertical string. \(Q\) is attached to a fixed point \(B\), which is vertically below \(A\), by a light inextensible string. The string \(B Q\) is taut and horizontal. The particles rotate in horizontal circles about an axis through \(A\) and \(B\) with constant angular speed \(\omega\) rad s \(^ { - 1 }\) (see diagram). The tension in the string joining \(P\) and \(Q\) is 1.5 N .
