Answer

The x coordinate of the center of mass is $~~20~cm$

Work Step by Step

By symmetry, the x coordinate of the center of mass is $\frac{L}{2}$ We can find the x coordinate of the center of mass: $x_{com} = \frac{L}{2} = \frac{40~cm}{2} = 20~cm$ The x coordinate of the center of mass is $~~20~cm$.
