The moments about the x- and y-axes are given by:
The center of mass is given by:
We are given:
Refer to the attached image. The plot of is blue in color and plot of
is red in color. The curves intersect at
and
.
Let's first evaluate the area of the bounded region,
Now let' evaluate the moments about x- and y-axes using the above stated formulas:
Now let's find the center of the mass by plugging the moments and and the area evaluated above,
The coordinates of the center of mass are
