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 |

new to PF?
hint: perhaps first sort out what those entries in the equation mean and then go fromt there |
