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

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:

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:


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

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) ...
