Answer to Problem 1RP
The centroid
Explanation of Solution
Show the area of the differential element as in Figure 1.
Using Figure 1,
Express the parabolic value, y.
Rearrange Equation to get the value of y.
Compute the area of the differential element.
Substitute
Compute the centroid of the differential element along the x-axis using the formula.
