Answer #1

Looking on map we can guess that center of mass may be present at Colorada, Nebraska, Kansas(considering that mass density is same). And we are allowed to pick the Colorada and Kansas. Therefore answer will be Nebraska.

Method- As states are in simplified shapes therefore its difficult to find exact center of mass by calculations therefore it can only be guessed. As density is same, therefore area will be the criteria for gussing the center of mass. We to find the center of the land(area) to guess the cemter of mass. So on guessing the center of lamd , we can say it is the center of mass as density is same.
