The centroid of a semicircle is noted at being (4r)/(3 pi) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_centroids. However, when I did the work myself using the integral of y da over the area, I came up with (2 r)/(pi). I figured I was doing something wrong so sought out someone else's work and found this:
