Final answer to Example 13.7.4 wrong by a factor of 4/\pi #5

Description

@0-andy-0

The center of mass, in rectangular coordinates, is NOT located at (−0.147, 0.015, 0.467) as these coordinates should be divided by M = \pi/4.

You should also be careful about when answers are written as equalities and when they are approximate.

The precise answers are

M_{yz} = - \frac{3 \pi}{64}

M_{xz} = \frac{3 \pi}{640}

M_{xy} = \frac{1903 \pi}{12800}

So the centre of mass is located at (-3/16, 3/160, 1903/3200).
