A Thin Wire in the Shape of a Quarter-Circle $\mathbf { r } ( t ) = 6 \cos t \mathbf { i } + 6 \sin t \mathbf { j } , 0 \leq t \leq \frac { \pi } { 2 }$

question 24

Short Answer

A thin wire in the shape of a quarter-circle $\mathbf { r } ( t ) = 6 \cos t \mathbf { i } + 6 \sin t \mathbf { j } , 0 \leq t \leq \frac { \pi } { 2 }$ , has a linear mass density $\pi ( x , y ) = 2 x + 4 y$ . Find the mass and the location of the center of mass of the wire.
