The point P must be the centre of mass of the T-shaped object since the force F does not produce any rotational motion of the object. So, we have to find the distance of the centre of mass from the point C.

The horizontal part of the T-shaped object has length L. If the mass of the horizontal portion is ‘m’, the mass of the vertical portion of the T- shaped object is 2m since its length is 2L. For finding the centre of mass of the T shaped object, it is enough to consider two point masses m and 2m located respectively at the midpoints of the horizontal and vertical portions of the T.

Therefore, the T-shaped object reduces to two point masses m and 2m at distances 2L and L respectively from the point C. The distance ‘r’ of the centre of mass of the system from the point C is given by

r = (m1r1 + m2r2)/(m1 + m2) = (m×2L + 2m×L)/(m + 2m) = 4L/3

[ Note that we have used the equation, r = (m1r1 + m2r2)/(m1 + m2) for the position vector r of the centre of mass in terms of the position vectors r1 and r2 of the point masses m1 and m2. We could use the simple equation involving the distances from C since the points are collinear].
