Find the x and y moments of inertia and center of mass for the laminas of uniform density bounded by the graphs of the...

Consider an irregularly shaped planar lamina of uniform density  , bounded by graphs , and .The mass of this region is given by:



  where A is the area of the region.


The moments about the x- and y-axes are given by:




The center of mass is given by ;




Given:


Refer to attached image. The plot of is red in color.

Consider an irregularly shaped planar lamina of uniform density  , bounded by graphs , and .The mass of this region is given by:



  where A is the area of the region.


The moments about the x- and y-axes are given by:




The center of mass is given by ;




Given:


Refer to attached image. The plot of is red in color.


The graphs intersect at the coordinates 


Let's evaluate the area of the bounded region,













Now let's evaluate the moments about the x- and y-axes,


Since the graph is symmetrical about the y-axis,


So, and ,















The coordinates of the center of mass are

How are race, gender, and class addressed in Oliver Optic's Rich and Humble?

While class does play a role in Rich and Humble , race and class aren't addressed by William Taylor Adams (Oliver Opic's real name) ...
