Use the results of Exercises 59 and 60 to find the centers of masses of the laminæ in Exercises 61–67.
Use the lamina from Exercise 61, but assume that the density is proportional to the distance from the x-axis.

What is the difference between a triple integral and an iterated triple integral?
Evaluate Each of the integrals in exercises 33-36 as an iterated integral and then compare your answer with thoise you found in exercise 29-32
Let be a continuous function of three variables, let localid="1650352548375" be a set of points in the -plane, and let localid="1650354983053" be a set of points in -space. Find an iterated triple integral equal to the triple integral localid="1650353288865" . How would your answer change iflocalid="1650352747263" ?
Let be a lamina in the xy-plane. Suppose is composed of two non-overlapping lamin and , as follows:
