Problem #1: A lamina in the shape of the region bounded by
and the line x = 0. The areas density
varies as the distance from the x-axis. Find the center of mass. Please provide an accurate
sketch of the bounded region.
Solution: We first compute the intersection points:

The only real solution is approximately
.

Then, we have



On the other hand, by similar integration:

and

This implies that the center of mass is

Problem #2: Find the area of the surface of the portion of the cone
between the cylinder
and the plane
.
Solution: We have that the projection of the region we need to calculate is
enclose in the x-y plane by
and
. We need to intersect these curves:

which means that
.
Therefore, we have the following parametric representation of the surface:

where
. We have
that

and the normal vector is computed as

Computing the norm:

This means that the area is


Problem #3: Use polar coordinates to evaluate
, where R is the region bounded by the
circles
and
.
Solution: We use polar coordinates

Hence, we get
