Let us find the centre of mass of semi circular ring of radius R .
From the given figure above, if we consider origin of X-Y coordinate system is at center of semi-circular ring,
then centre of mass is in y-axis by symmetry, i.e. x-coordinate Cx of centre of mass is zero.
y-coordinate Cy of centre of mass is given by

where M is mass of semi-circular ring, dm is mass of a small element of length dl .
Let radial line connecting the element dl makes angle θ with x-axis and dθ be angle subtended by element dl at centre.
ρ is mass per unit length of wire. Mass M of wire is obtained as M = ρ ( π R )
Using the substitution ( ρ/M ) = 1/( π R ) , equation (1) for y-coordinate of centre of mass becomes
Cy = 2R/π

Moment of inertia I about centre of mass is given by

we get from above integration,
