Homework Equations
F = w int y*f(y) dy
The Attempt at a Solution
I used 2-y for my height and y^3 for my width, I then multiplied by 2 for symmetry on the width. I then integrate from 0 to 2. I keep getting the answer: 16/5w but the book says it's 64/5w. I'm just not seeing it. I'm positive I have the integral setup correctly. I've checked it numerous times. Thanks for any help.
