折叠只移动上方小三角形的质量。以折痕为轴,原大三角形质心恰在折痕上;扣掉原位置的小三角形面积矩,再加上镜像位置的面积矩。这样无须猜梯形质心。重叠处仍有两层质量,不能当成一层平面轮廓。

Use the unfolded orientation of Figure 1, measuring signed perpendicular distances from towards as positive.
Since , triangles and are similar. Therefore
and the height of above is .
The original triangle has area
Its centroid is above . Since is also above , its signed centroid distance from is zero.
The triangle has area
Its centroid is from its base , so its signed distance before folding is . After folding it is reflected across , giving signed distance .
The total mass is unchanged. Since the lamina is uniform, taking moments of areas, with the folded layer counted separately, gives
Thus
and hence

Let be the centre of mass and let be the midpoint of . By symmetry, . From (a),
When freely suspended from , is vertically downwards.
Thus the angle between and the downward vertical satisfies
Using the given value,
Hence
so
