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

For 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:




We are given:


Please refer to the attached image. Plot of is red in...

For 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:




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

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) ...
