To find the Centre of Gravity of a Ciroular Arc.

Let a (Fig. 12) be the radius, 2a the angle at the centre, AB the arc, of total mass m, G its centre of gravity symmetrically situated.

Imagine the arc to be part of a circle of string rotating uniformly with velocity u round C and of linear density ρ
