Answer 1

• The center of mass of an object is the point where you can assume all the mass is concentrated.

Question 2

• The center of mass of a thin plate (planar lamina) of uniform density is located at (x,y), where x=1/A lim(B->A) x*f(x)dx and y=1/A lim(B->A) 1/2[f(x)]^2 dx.

Answer 2

• The center of mass of a thin plate (planar lamina) of uniform density is located at (x,y), where x=1/A lim(B->A) x*f(x)dx and y=1/A lim(B->A) 1/2[f(x)]^2 dx.
