Finding the centroid of a lamina using definite integrals when density of the region varies.
Not what you're looking for?
A lamina (with uniform thickness 0.01m) has the shape in the xy plane bounded by the curves y+sqrt(x)=0, x-y=0, x=1, x=4. If the density is given to be proportional to the distance of a point on the curve to Y-axis, find the centroid of the region.
