Question
The coordinates of the center of mass of a wire with variable density are given by \(\bar{x}=M_{y} / m, \bar{y}=M_{x} / m\), where
\(m=\int_{C} \rho(x, y) d s, \quad M_{x}=\int_{C} y \rho(x, y) d s\)
and \(M_{y}=\int_{C} x \rho(x, y) d s\)
Find the center of mass of the wire in Problem 40.
Solution
The first step in solving 9.8 problem number 41 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The coordinates of the center of mass of a wire with variable density are given by \(\bar{x}=M_{y} / m, \bar{y}=M_{x} / m\), where \(m=\int_{C} \rho(x, y) d s, \quad M_{x}=\int_{C} y \rho(x, y) d s\)and \(M_{y}=\int_{C} x \rho(x, y) d s\)Find the center of mass of the wire in Problem 40.
From the textbook chapter Line Integrals you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
