Homework Statement
find the center of mass of a thin plate with constant density in the given region.
region bounded by y-axis, x=y-y^3 ; 0<=y<=1
Homework Equations
x(bar) = (integral)(a to b) α(x) * x * (f(x) - g(x))
----------------------------------
(integral)(a to b) α(x) * (f(x) - g(x))y(bar) = (integral)(a to b) (1/2) α(x) * x * (f(x)^2 - g(x)^2)
----------------------------------
(integral)(a to b) α(x) * (f(x) - g(x))
The Attempt at a Solution
how do i solve this since it is f(y) and not f(x). would i replace the "X" in x(bar) integral with a "y"?
