Center of Mass Question


The Problem is the following:
One half of a uniform circular disk of radisu 1 meter lies in the xy-plane with its diameter along the y-axis, its center at the origin, and x>0. The mass of the hallf-disk is 3 kg. Find(xcoord of center of mass, y-coord of center of mass)
The equation of the center of mass of the coord is the following:
x coord of center of mass = [tex]\int[/tex]x * density(x)AreaofSlice(x)dx[tex]\div[/tex][tex]\int[/tex]density(x)dx

or
x coord = [tex]\int[/tex]massofslice * x [tex]\div[/tex][tex]\div[/tex] massofslice

How would you do this problem
it is more than just how we would do this problem but we wish to know how you may tackle it too.


hint: perhaps first sort out what those entries in the equation mean and then go fromt there
