Find the location of the center of mass of the structure. (Use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary. Hint: Think of the missing part as a negative mass overlapping a positive mass. Assume the origin is in the bottom left corner shared by both cubes, and assume all values are positive with the x-axis to the right, the y-axis extending back into the page parallel to the sides of the cube, and the z-axis pointing up along the page.)
