    The document provides the solution to determining the centroid and center of gravity of an adjustable wooden chair back that consists of a semicircular and rectangular component. It lists the area, x-bar, y-bar, x-bar A, and y-bar A of each component. The total x-bar A, y-bar A, and A are calculated and used to find the location of the centroid, which is at x-bar = 9 inches and y-bar = -8.4 inches.
