Let D be a lamina (a thin plate) occupying the region in the xy-plane that is in the first quadrant, between the circles of radius 1 and 4 centered at the origin. Assume D has constant density which you may take as a unit value. Complete these tasks: 1. Draw a graph of D. 2. Compute the mass of D (which will be the same as the area because the density is equal to one). 3. Identify a line of symmetry in D which will help with Step 4, below. 4. Compute the center of mass of D. I recommend that you use polar coordinates. 5. Go back to your graph of D and plot the location of the center of mass you just found.
