Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Finding the Center of Mass of a Plane Region with Variable Density**
In this exercise, we aim to find the center of mass for a plane region with a non-uniform density distribution. We will also describe how the mass is distributed across this region.
The region of interest is a triangular plate situated in the first quadrant, bounded by the lines:
- \( y = x \)
- \( x = 0 \)
- \( y = 2 - x \)
The density function for this region is given by \( \rho(x, y) = 10x + 8y + 5 \).
To determine the center of mass, we will integrate across this region considering the given density function. This practice will help us understand how varying densities can affect the balance point of the plane.
