Look at the figure drawn with ink of uniform linear density. $A$ mass $m$ of ink is used to draw each of the two inner circles and each of the two line segments. $A$ mass $6m$ of ink is used to draw the outer circle. The coordinates of the centers of the different parts are: outer circle $(0, 0)$,left inner circle $(-a, a)$,right inner circle $(a, a)$,and the horizontal line segment $(0, -a)$. Find the $y$-coordinate of the center of mass of the ink in the figure.
