Let T2be triangular region with vertices (1,0),(2,1),and(2,-1)

If the density at each point in T2is proportional to the point’s distance from the y-axis, find the center of mass of T2.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The center of mass is(x¯,y¯)=1710,0

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The vertices of triangular region is (1,0),(2,1),and(2,-1)

Density isÒÏ(x,y)=kx

02

Find x-

The formula is:

x¯=∬ΩxÒÏ(x,y)dA∬ΩÒÏ(x,y)dAandy¯=∬ΩyÒÏ(x,y)dA∬ΩÒÏ(x,y)dA

Limits of yvaries from -x+1to x+1

xvaries from 1-2

Formula becomes x¯=∫12∫-x+1x-1xkxdydx∫12∫-x+1x-1kxdydx

=∫12∫-x+1x-1kx2dydx∫12∫-x+1x-1kxdydx

x¯=∫12x2[y]-x+1x-1dx∫12x[y]-x+1x-1dx

=∫12x2[(x-1)-(-x+1)]dx∫12x[(x-1)-(-x+1)]dx

=∫12x2[2x-2]dx∫12x[2x-2]dx

x¯=∫12x3-x2dx∫12x2-xdx

=x44-x3312x33-x2212

=244-233-14-13233-222-13-12=710

03

Find y-

The formula is

y¯=∬ΩyÒÏ(x,y)dA∬ΩÒÏ(x,y)dA

Using values of ÒÏ(x,y)and values of x,y

y¯=∫12∫-x+1x-1ykxdydx∫12∫-x+1x-1kxdydx

y¯=∫12kxy22-x+1x-1dx∫12kx[y]-x+1x-1dx

=∫12kx(x-1)2-(-x+1)22dx∫122kx2-xdx

=∫12kx[0]dx∫122kx2-xdx=0

Centroid is(x¯,y¯)=1710,0
