The lamina rotates in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis through \(O\), the mid-point of its diameter. The angular speed of the lamina is \(4 \mathrm { rad } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\) (see diagram). Find
  1. the distance of the centre of mass of the lamina from \(O\),
  2. the speed with which the centre of mass of the lamina is moving.
