A plane lamina is a thin sheet of continuously distributed mass. If o is a function describing the density of a lamina having the shape of a region R in the xy-plane, then the center of mass of the lamina (7.7) and density function o(x, y) are: JJ To(x, y)dA ffo(x, y)dA R = If yo(x, y)dA R ffo(x, y)dA R o(x,y) = e(+) (a) Calculate the center of mass as defined in (4) by way of Simpson's Double Integral. To do this write a function simpson_di.m that follows the algorithm described in the text but add one extra output count (the number of f(x, y) calls during the calculation); and two extra inputs - c(r) and d(r) which are the functional bounds on the second integral. Use n = m = 14 described by R = {(x,y) | 0x 1, 0 y 1-} (b) Output to the command window the center of mass and the number of function calls taken to calculate both 7 and y.
