Solution:

Number the different sections as shown below:

The Area of the section 1 is:


A1  560  500
 280000

The local x-centroid of section 1 is:


560
x1 
2
 280

The local y-centroid of section 1 is:


y1  0
The Area of the section 2 is:
A2  400  420
 168000

The local x-centroid of section 2 is:


400
x2  120 
2
 320

The local y-centroid of section 2 is:


y2  0

The centroid of the figure is calculated as:


A1 x1  A2 x2
x
A1  A2

x
 280000  280    168000  320 
280000  168000
x  220

A1 y1  A2 y2
y
A1  A2

y
 280000  0    168000  0 
280000  168000
y 0
