$\textsf{Sketch the region indicate the location of the centriods}$
$\textsf{Use symetry when possible and choose a convient }$
$\textsf{coordinate system the sliced solid cylinder bounded}$

ok I won't deal with this till morning
but if suggestions
never done mass before

First, the "center of mass assuming constant density" is the "centroid" of a figure. "Centroid" is a mathematics term while "center of mass" is a physics term. Second, your use of the plural "centroids" is peculiar. A geometric figure only has one centroid.

Given a three dimensional object, S, the volume is [math]V= \int\int_S\int dV[/math]. The coordinates of the centroid are then [math]\overline{x}= \frac{\int\int_S\int xdV}{V}[/math], [math]\overline{y}= \frac{\int\int_S\int ydV}{V}[/math], and [math]\overline{z}= \frac{\int\int_S\int zdV}{V}[/math]. Since the figure here is a cylinder I would use cylindrical coordinates, r, [math]\theta[/math], and z. To find V, integrate dV with r from 0 to 13, [math]\theta[/math] from 0 to [math]2\pi[/math] and z from 0 to [math]1- y= 1- r sin(\theta)[/math].

ok the radius of the circle was $7$
and presume the slant is $45^o$ so
centroid is $0,0,?$View attachment 7351

where do you get $13$ the $\sqrt{196}=14$ ?

My eyes are going wonky: 13 is the square root of 169.
