Solution

The correct option is D yCOM=3b4

Taking an element parallel to x-axis at a distance y from the x axis.
Area of element =dA=ldy
and Mass of element =dm=ρdA=16ρ0y2ldy

Therefore, ycom=b0ydmb0dm
=b0y×16ρ0y2ldyb016ρ0y2ldy
=16ρ0lb0y3dy16ρ0lb0y2dy
=[y44]b0[y33]b0=34b

Density is constant along x - axis
xcom=l2
Thus, coordinates of COM =[l2,3b4]
