Problem 709
Locate the centroid of the area bounded by the x-axis and the sine curve $y = a \sin \dfrac{\pi x}{L}$ from x = 0 to x = L.
 

Problem 708
Compute the area of the spandrel in Fig. P-708 bounded by the x-axis, the line x = b, and the curve y = kxⁿ where n ≥ 0. What is the location of its centroid from the line x = b? Determine also the y coordinate of the centroid.
 

Problem 707
