We are given:
Please refer to the attached image. Plot of is red in color and plot of
is blue in color. The curves intersect at
and
.
First let's find the area of the region,
Now let's evaluate moments about the x- and y-axes,
Take the constant out,
The center of mass can be evaluated by plugging in the moments and area as below:
The coordinates of the center of mass are
