Hm, I think there was a similar exercise a while ago.
Do you know how to find the centroid of a region?

Hm... I did this using double integrals, and got the x-coordinate 3a/5. I think this is more plausible, as more of the area of the parabolic sector is concentrated to its right, so the center is likely to be further than a/2. I'll try to recheck yours econd integral again.

8/2^2 = 2, not 4.

Well, I mean, you just need to multiply <x> by 2, then p = 3a/5.
Not much needs correction, just a small arithmetic mistake.

Yeah, nice!
