Find the mass and center of mass of the lamina that occupies the region D and has the given density function ρ. D is bounded by y=ex,y=0,x=0, and x=1; ρ(x,y)=31y Step 1 The mass can be found by integrating the density function ρ(x,y) over the region, therefore, ∬Dρ(x,y)dA=∫0ax∫0exydydx. Step 2 The inner integral is ∫0ex31ydy=[231y2]]0x=231c2x. Step 3 Therefore, the mass is m=∫01231e2xdx=[∣01= Step 4 The center of mass is the point (xyyˉ)=(mMy,mMx)⋅My is the moment about the y-axis, given by My=∬Dxρ(x,y)dA. We, therefore, have My=∫01∫0ex31xydydx=∫01 Step 5 The integral ∫01231xe2xdx can be calculated by parts. Using u=x and dv=231 ∫01231xe2xdx=[431xe2x−]01= dx we get Step 6 Similarly, Mx is the moment about the x-axis, given by Mx=∬Dyρ(x,y)dA. We, therefore, have Mx=∫01∫0ex31y2dydx=∫01xdx=
