Centroid of the surface generated by revolving the parabola about x axis

Answer to Problem 8.75P
The centroid
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The centroid of the surface is defined as:
Calculation:
Consider the surface element, a ring obtained by rotating the line of length
We know that
Differentiate
The differential area
The centroidal coordinate
The area A of the element
The first moment
Apply Simpson's rule to evaluate above integrals.
