Removing a hole from a plate shifts centroid:
Removing a hole from a plate shifts centroid:
Show Hint
Think of the centroid as a balance point.
If you remove weight from the right side (by cutting a hole), the balance point (centroid) must shift to the left (away from the hole) to maintain balance.
