Centroids of Areas

The document provides steps to find the centroid of a curved plate using integration. 1) Set up integrals involving x and y coordinates as functions of a parameter to calculate double integrals for area (S) and first moments (Sx, Sy). 2) Evaluate the integrals to find S = 2a^2π, Sx = 0, and Sy = 2a^2. 3) Use the formulas for centroid to determine the coordinates (x,y) are both 0, located at the geometric center of the curved plate.
