Detailed Solution

$m_{1} = m (\frac{L}{2}, 0)$

$m_{2} = m (\frac{6L}{10}, 0)$

$m_{3} = m (\frac{7L}{10}, 0)$

$m_{4} = m (\frac{8L}{10}, 0)$

$m_{5} = m (\frac{7L}{10}, 0)$

$m_{6} = m (\frac{6L}{10}, 0)$

$m_{7} = m (\frac{L}{2}, 0)$

$y_{cm} = \frac{m (\frac{L}{2} + \frac{6L}{10} + \frac{7L}{10} + \frac{8L}{10} + \frac{7L}{10} + \frac{6L}{10} + \frac{L}{2})}{7 m}$

$y_{cm} = \frac{(L + \frac{34}{16} L)}{7} = \frac{44 L}{70} = \frac{22 L}{35}$
