To solve this problem, let's go through it step-by-step.

Step 1: Set Up the Integral for Mass $m$

The mass $m$ of a lamina with density function $\rho(x, y)$ over a region $D$ is given by: $m = \iint_D \rho(x, y) \, dA$ For this problem, the density function $\rho(x, y) = 4(x + y)$.

Step 2: Define the Region $D$

The region $D$ is a triangle with vertices at $(0, 0)$, $(2, 1)$, and $(0, 3)$. This triangle can be bounded by:

• The line from $(0, 0)$ to $(2, 1)$, which has the equation $y = \frac{1}{2}x$.
• The line from $(0, 0)$ to $(0, 3)$, which is the y-axis, $x = 0$.
• The line from $(2, 1)$ to $(0, 3)$, which has the equation $y = -\frac{3}{2}x + 3$.

Thus, for $0 \leq x \leq 2$, $y$ ranges from $y = \frac{1}{2}x$ to $y = -\frac{3}{2}x + 3$.

Step 3: Calculate $m$ (Mass of the Lamina)

Now we set up the integral for the mass: $m = \int_0^2 \int_{\frac{1}{2}x}^{-\frac{3}{2}x + 3} 4(x + y) \, dy \, dx$

Step 4: Solve the Integral

Let's solve the inner integral with respect to $y$ first, then proceed with the outer integral.

1. Inner Integral: $\int_{\frac{1}{2}x}^{-\frac{3}{2}x + 3} 4(x + y) \, dy$

2. Outer Integral: After finding the result of the inner integral, integrate with respect to $x$ from $0$ to $2$.

Step 5: Calculate the Center of Mass $(\bar{x}, \bar{y})$

The coordinates for the center of mass $(\bar{x}, \bar{y})$ are given by: $\bar{x} = \frac{1}{m} \iint_D x \rho(x, y) \, dA$ $\bar{y} = \frac{1}{m} \iint_D y \rho(x, y) \, dA$ These require setting up similar double integrals over the region $D$ with the density $4(x + y)$, multiplied by $x$ and $y$ respectively in each case.

Would you like me to continue with detailed integration for mass $m$ and the center of mass coordinates, or would you like specific steps for one part?

Tip

When solving multiple integrals over complex regions, always sketch the region and identify the bounds carefully to avoid errors in setting up the limits.
