Find the mass and the center of mass of a wire loop in the shape of a helix (measured in cm: x = t, y = 4 cos(t), z = 4 sin(t) for 0 ≤ t ≤ 2π), if the density (in grams/cm) of the wire at any point is equal to the square of the distance from the origin to the point

Coordinate z

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W be the wire. We can consider W=(x(t),y(t),z(t)) as a path given by the parametric functions

x(t) = t

y(t) = 4 cos(t)

z(t) = 4 sin(t)  

for 0 ≤ t ≤ 2π

If D(x,y,z) is the density of W at a given point (x,y,z), the mass  m would be the curve integral along the path W

The density D(x,y,z) is given by

on the other hand

and we have

The center of mass is the point

where

We have

so
