Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve

a^2 +b^2 =c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

9^2 +x^2 = 15^2

81 +x^2 = 225

Subtract 81 from each side

81-81 +x^2 = 225-81

x^2 = 144

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(144)

x = 12

X^3 + 10x^2 + 24x

divide by x
x(x^2 + 10x + 24)

factor it
x(x+4)(x + 6)

now solve for x

The boundary of a lamina consists of the semicircles y = 1 − x2 and y = 16 − x2 together with the portions of the x-axis that jo

Answer:

Required center of mass $(\bar{x},\bar{y})=(\frac{2}{\pi},0)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given semcircles are,

$y=\sqrt{1-x^2}, y=\sqrt{16-x^2}$ whose radious are 1 and 4 respectively.

To find center of mass, $(\bar{x},\bar{y})$ , let density at any point is $\rho$ and distance from the origin is r be such that,

$\rho=\frac{k}{r}$ where k is a constant.

Mass of the lamina=m= $\int\int_{D}\rho dA$ where A is the total region and D is curves.

then,

$m=\int\int_{D}\rho dA=\int_{0}^{\pi}\int_{1}^{4}\frac{k}{r}rdrd\theta=k\int_{}^{}(4-1)d\theta=3\pi k$

Now, x-coordinate of center of mass is $\bar{y}=\frac{M_x}{m}$ . in polar coordinate $y=r\sin\theta$

$\therefore M_x=\int_{0}^{\pi}\int_{1}^{4}x\rho(x,y)dA$

$=\int_{0}^{\pi}\int_{1}^{4}\frac{k}{r}(r)\sin\theta)rdrd\theta$

$=k\int_{0}^{\pi}\int_{1}^{4}r\sin\thetadrd\theta$

$=3k\int_{0}^{\pi}\sin\theta d\theta$

$=3k\big[-\cos\theta\big]_{0}^{\pi}$

$=3k\big[-\cos\pi+\cos 0\big]$

$=6k$

Then, $\bar{y}=\frac{M_x}{m}=\frac{2}{\pi}$

y-coordinate of center of mass is $\bar{x}=\frac{M_y}{m}$ . in polar coordinate $x=r\cos\theta$

$\therefore M_y=\int_{0}^{\pi}\int_{1}^{4}x\rho(x,y)dA$

$=\int_{0}^{\pi}\int_{1}^{4}\frac{k}{r}(r)\cos\theta)rdrd\theta$

$=k\int_{0}^{\pi}\int_{1}^{4}r\cos\theta drd\theta$

$=3k\int_{0}^{\pi}\cos\theta d\theta$

$=3k\big[\sin\theta\big]_{0}^{\pi}$

$=3k\big[\sin\pi-\sin 0\big]$

$=0$

Then, $\bar{x}=\frac{M_y}{m}=0$

Hence center of mass $(\bar{x},\bar{y})=(\frac{2}{\pi},0)$
