Centroid Calculator

Find center of mass (centroid) and moments of a region/area step by step

The calculator will try to find the center of mass and moments of the region/area bounded by the given curves, with steps shown.

Comma-separated. x-axis is $$$y = 0$$$, y-axis is $$$x = 0$$$.
Optional.
Optional.
If you are using periodic functions and the calculator cannot find a solution, try to specify the limits (even wider then the region's limits).

If the calculator did not compute something or you have identified an error, or you have a suggestion/feedback, please contact us.

Your Input

Find the center of mass of the region bounded by the curves $$$y = x^{2}$$$, $$$y = 2 x$$$.

Solution

$$$M_{x} = \int\limits_{0}^{2}\int\limits_{x^{2}}^{2 x} y\cdot 1\, dy\, dx = \frac{32}{15}\approx 2.133333333333333$$$

$$$M_{y} = \int\limits_{0}^{2}\int\limits_{x^{2}}^{2 x} x\cdot 1\, dy\, dx = \frac{4}{3}\approx 1.333333333333333$$$

$$$m = \int\limits_{0}^{2}\int\limits_{x^{2}}^{2 x} 1\, dy\, dx = \frac{4}{3}\approx 1.333333333333333$$$

$$$\left(\bar{x}, \bar{y}\right) = \left(\frac{M_{y}}{m}, \frac{M_{x}}{m}\right) = \left(1, \frac{8}{5}\right) = \left(1, 1.6\right)$$$

Region bounded by y = x^2, y = 2*x
