Question

Transcribed Image Text:### Problem Statement
**8–1. Determine \( \bar{y} \) for the area shown in Figure P8–1.**
### Diagram Description
**Figure P8-1** is a geometric diagram that outlines a composite shape. It consists of two main rectangular areas with the following dimensions and placement:
- The full outer rectangle has dimensions of 5 inches in width (horizontally from left to right) and 10 inches in height (vertically from bottom to top).
- The height is divided as follows: a bottom part measuring 4 inches, a middle section of 4 inches, and a top part measuring 2 inches.
- The inner rectangle (which will be subtracted from the area) is centrally located.
- Its dimensions are: width 1 inch (horizontally) and height 4 inches (vertically).
- It is positioned 2 inches from the left side of the outer rectangle and 2 inches from the top.
Both \( x \) and \( y \) axes are drawn with the origin located at the bottom-left corner of the outer rectangle.
##### Additional Notes:
- The diagram includes various linear dimension labels to specify these distances, aiding in the understanding of the composite shape's distribution and balance.
### Determination of \( \bar{y} \)
To find \( \bar{y} \), the centroid of the area, we consider the dimensions and positions of the entire shape and the inner subtracted area.
