Center of Mass of an Irregular Object

The video tutorial explains how to find the center of mass of an L-shaped block with constant density and thickness. It begins with a problem statement and introduces the concept of the center of mass. The block is divided into symmetrical pieces to simplify calculations. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate the center of mass without knowing the masses by using the relationship between density, mass, and volume. The solution involves substituting values into the center of mass equation. The video concludes with logical reasoning and a demonstration of the center of mass in projectile motion.
