Let R Be a Plane Region of Area a Bounded (xˉ,yˉ)( \bar { x } , \bar { y } )

Question 92

Short Answer

Let R be a plane region of area A bounded by a piecewise-smooth simple closed curve C. Using Green's Theorem, it can be shown that the centroid of R is (xˉ,yˉ)( \bar { x } , \bar { y } ) , where xˉ=12ACx2dy\bar { x } = \frac { 1 } { 2 A } \oint _ { C } x ^ { 2 } d y yˉ=12ACy2dx\bar { y } = - \frac { 1 } { 2 A } \oint _ { C } y ^ { 2 } d x Use these results to find the centroid of the given region.
