Centroid of Area- Exercise 1: If we cut out a small section from the upper left region of the rectangule shown, to which of the four designated points would the centroid of the area shift?
Note that in this exercise we want to know the effect of a cutout on the location of the centroid. We are not looking for the exact location of the centroid, rather we want to know the location that would be nearest to it.
