Question:
Let \(\mathcal{D}\) be the domain in Figure 22. Assume that \(\mathcal{D}\) is symmetric with respect to the \(y\)-axis; that is, both \(g_{1}(x)\) and \(g_{2}(x)\) are even functions.
(a) Prove that the centroid lies on the \(y\)-axis-that is, that \(\bar{x}=0\).
(b) Show that if the mass density satisfies \(\delta(-x, y)=\delta(x, y)\), then \(M_{y}=0\) and \(x_{\mathrm{CM}}=0\).
