From the figure we can write,
`X_(cm) = (m_(0) xx 0 + m_(0) xx L + m_(0) xx L + m_(0) xx 2L)/(m_(0) + m_(0) + m_(0) + m_(0)) rArr X_( cm) = L`
`Y_(CM) = (m_(0) xx 0 + m_(0) xx 0 + m_(0) xx L + m_(0) xx 0)/(m_(0) + m_(0) + m_(0) + m_(0)) rArr Y_(cm) = L/4`
`therefore` Co-ordinates of centre of mass are `(X_(cm), Y_(cm)) =(L, L/4)`
