Let
be the upper half-disc of the disc
in
with a constant surface-density 1. By the symmetry, its centre of mass
locates on its medium radius, and therefore we only have to calculate the ordinate
of the centre of mass. For doing that, one can use in this two-dimensional case instead a triple integral the double integral
where
Accordingly, we may write
Thus the centre of mass is the point
