It explains how to find the moments about an axis and the center of mass for planar objects and systems with variable density. The section covers the formulas and applications, providing examples that illustrate the concepts of mass distribution in physical systems.

The basic idea of the center of mass is the notion of a balancing point. Many of us have seen performers who spin plates on the ends of sticks. The performers try to keep several of them spinning without allowing any of them to drop. Mathematically, that sweet spot is called the center of mass of the plate.

It evaluates different geometric figures, such as triangles and circles, for their centroids. Each problem includes solutions that specify the center of mass coordinates and other relevant quantities, employing principles of symmetry and calculus.

Just as a partial derivative allows us to differentiate a function with respect to one variable while holding the other variables constant, we will see that an iterated integral allows us to integrate a function with respect to one variable while holding the other variables constant.
