Centroids and Centers of Gravity; Moments of Inertia

Modified True or False:
1. The intersection of the vertical lines at various single support and orientation of a rigid body may approximate the center of gravity of the body.
2. The vertical and horizontal coordinates of the intersection at any reference frame is the centroid of the body.
3. It is assumed that the body is laminar and non-homogenous to determine the centroid.

At what angle with the direction of motion of the ship must the gun be pointed in order to hit the target?

A ship is traveling at a speed of 20 knots. (A knot is a nautical mile per hour, a nautical mile being approximately 1.1516 statute mile of 5280 feet each.) When directly opposite a target it fires a gun whose projectile has a velocity of 2000 feet a second. At what angle with the direction of motion of the ship must the gun be pointed in order to hit the target?
