    Breaking up the semi-circle into infinitesimally small rings

    I attempted to solve this problem by breaking up the semi-circle into infinitesimally small rings of mass dm and width dr a distance r away from the center [0<r<R]. I then wrote dm in terms of the area: dm=pi*r*dr. Then, I plugged into the formula di=integral(dm*r^2) and integrated from 0 to R...
