Horizontal or vertical strips when solving c.o.m. of functions problems?

AI Thread Summary
Determining whether to use horizontal or vertical strips in solving center of mass problems often depends on the specific functions and the orientation of the region being analyzed. There is no universally quick method; experience and familiarity with the functions play significant roles in making this decision. The discussion highlights a specific video as an example of the type of problem being addressed. Additionally, there is a request for the thread to be moved back to the math section for better relevance. Ultimately, understanding the geometry of the problem is crucial for effective problem-solving.

Shouldn't this be in the math section? A moderator moved it from there and to here, but that was before I updated my OP with a youtube video explaining what I'm on about.

Can some moderator move it back, or at least answer me?

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
