Learning Goal: To be able to find the center of gravity, the center of mass, and the centroid of a composite body. A centroid is an object's geometric center. For an object of uniform composition, its centroid is also its center of mass. Often the centroid of a complex composite body is found by, first, cutting the body into regular shaped segments, and then by calculating the weighted average of the segments' centroids.An object is made from a uniform piece of sheet metal. The object has dimensions of \( a=1.15 \mathrm{ft} \), where \( a \) is the diameter of the semi-circle, \( b=3.99 \mathrm{ft} \), and \( c=2.50 \mathrm{ft} \). A hole with diameter \( d=0.500 \mathrm{ft} \) is centered at \( (1.06,0.575) \). Figure 1 of 2 Part A Find the area of the body. (Figure 1) Express your answer numerically in feet squared to three significant figures.

Find \( \bar{y} \), the \( y \)-coordinate of the body's centroid. (Figure 1) Express your answer numerically in feet to three significant figures. \( \bar{y} \) \( = \) \( \mathrm{ft} \) Part D A single-scoop ice cream cone is a composite body made from a single scoop of ice cream placed into a cone. Assume that the scoop of ice cream is a sphere with radius \( r=1.35 \mathrm{in} \) that is placed into a \( 4.00 \) in tall cone. The interior height of the cone is \( 3.60 \mathrm{in} \). The cone has an exterior radius of \( 1.25 \) in and an interior radius of \( 1.10 \) in . The scoop of ice cream sits on the cone's interior radius and extends into the cone some distance. Find the \( \bar{z} \) centroid for the cone (the scoop of ice cream and the cone). Express your answer numerically in inches to three significant figures.
