. A thin strip of metal of mass M is bent into a quarter circle with radius R. Relative to a coordinate system where the center of the circle is at the origin, what is the position of its center of mass, (Xem, Yem)? The integrals you'll need to compute to find the center of mass are given below. You answer should be symbolic, in terms of R (for example, 0.1R).

To keep the calculations fairly simple, but still reasonable, we shall model a human leg that is 92.0 cm long (measured from the hip joint) by assuming that the upper leg and the lower leg (which includes the foot) have equal lengths and that each of them is uniform. For a 70.0 kg person, the mass of the upper leg is 8.60 kg, while that of the lower leg (including the foot) is 5.25 kg. Find the location of the center of mass of this leg, relative to the hip joint, if it is (a) fully extended, and (b) bent at the knee to form a right angle with the upper leg.
