In a horizontal axis,

CG of bigger circle(X1) = 50mm.
CG of smaller circle(X2) = 50 + 25 = 75mm.

Area of Bigger Circle(A1) = PI * 100^2/4 = 2500π
Area of Reduced circle (A2)) = -PI*50^2/4 = 625π
∑A = A1 + A2 = 1875π

A1X1 = 125000π
A2X2 = -46875π
∑AX = 78125π

Total CG= ∑AX/ ∑A = 41.66.
so, it shifts towards the left side.

It should be towards right in the hole to balance out the disturbed weight distribution of the circular disc?
