To find the center of mass of a uniform semicircular ring of radius \( R \) and mass \( M \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Geometry Consider a semicircular ring with radius \( R \). The center of the semicircle is at the origin (0, 0) in a Cartesian coordinate system. The semicircular ring extends from \( -R \) to \( R \) along the x-axis and is symmetric about the y-axis. ### Step 2: Set Up the Differential Mass Element Since the ring is uniform, we can define the mass per unit length \( \lambda \): \[ ...
