Homework Statement
Find the center of mass of a thin plate of constant density (δ covering the triangular region in this first quadrant between the circle x^2 + y^2 = 4 and the lines x=2 ; y=2.
Homework Equations
x^2 + y^2 = 4 and the lines x=2 ; y=2.
The Attempt at a Solution
x(bar) = integral(a to b) δ x (f(x) - g(x)) dx
----------------------------------
integral(a to b) δ (f(x) - g(x)) dx
y(bar) = (1/2) integral(a to b) δ (f(x)^2 - g(x)^2) dx
----------------------------------
integral(a to b) δ (f(x) - g(x)) dx
I am not sure how to start with this problem. should i solve for y first?
