The center of mass (COM) of a uniform circular sector is along its axis of symmetry. Its distance from the center O is calculated by integrating the position of infinitesimal mass elements over the entire sector.

The formula for the y-coordinate of the COM is derived as:

y=2Rsin(θ02)3θ0

This result is obtained because the mass is distributed symmetrically about the x-axis, making the x-coordinate zero. The correct option is the one that matches this derived formula.

Final Answer: 2Rsin(θ02)3θ0
