    Finding the center of mass of a piecewise function

    Sorry, I’m a little confused how this would give me the center of mass. wouldn’t this just give the area?

    Finding the center of mass of a piecewise function

    the two seemingly big parallelograms actually are not parallelograms because of how I designed the lightning bolt (the equations I used are here https://www.desmos.com/calculator/g6crwsecp1). However, I could break the shape up into 2 big parallelograms, 2 very thin parallelograms, and a...

    Finding the center of mass of a piecewise function

    I understand that I can divide this shape into a few parallelograms and a triangle and calculate the center of mass of each, but am confused as to what I should do after that. My physics teacher also wants us to use integrals, but I'm assuming I can calculate the COM of each parallelogram and...
