Center of mass or Centroid

[@joshuasilwimba3616]

What is the formula for finding My, you just wrote for finding Mx

[@EngMTc-r8m]

the density is constant and the area is mostly in the 4th quardrant ,why is Mx positive sir?

Hi. You have a point there. Most of the area is in the fourth quadrant, meaning that we expect the y coordunate of the center of mass (and My) to be negative. The negative y can be obtained if we take the limits to change from a to b and not b to a which was used in the calculation. Everything else would remain the same.
