Find the x and y-coordinates of the center of gravity of a 4.00-ft by 8.00-ft uniform sheet of plywood with the upper right quadrant removed as shown in the figure below. Hint: The mass of any segment of the plywood sheet is proportional to the area of that segment.

The image contains a step graph representing a piecewise function. The x-axis is labeled as "x (ft)" and the y-axis is labeled as "y (ft)." 

- The graph consists of two rectangular sections:
  - The first section extends from x = 0 to x = 4 and has a height of y = 4.00 ft.
  - The second section extends from x = 4 to x = 8 and has a height of y = 2.00 ft.
  
The graph appears to illustrate a function with discrete intervals, commonly used to model scenarios with different levels or stages within a process. The step-like nature shows a sudden change in value at x = 4 ft.
