Solved: (Center of gravity) Justity the following formulas

Chapter 10, Problem 10.1.126

(choose chapter or problem)

Justify the following formulas for the mass M and the center of gravity \((\bar{x}, \bar{y}, \bar{z})\) of a lamina S of density (mass per unit area) \(\sigma(x, y, z)\) in space:

\(M=\iint_{S} \sigma d A, \quad \bar{x}=\frac{1}{M} \int_{S} x \sigma d A\)

\(\bar{y}=\frac{1}{M} \iint_{S} y \sigma d A, \quad \bar{z}=\frac{1}{M} \iint_{S} z \sigma d A\)

Text Transcription:

(bar x, bar y, bar z)

sigma(x, y, z)

M = iint_S sigma dA,     bar x = 1 / M int_S x sigma dA

bar y = 1 / M iint_S y sigma dA,     bar z = 1 / M iint_S z sigma dA
