10 The curve \(C\) has equation $$y = 2 \left( \frac { x } { 3 } \right) ^ { \frac { 3 } { 2 } }$$ where \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant 3\). Show that the arc length of \(C\) is \(2 ( 2 \sqrt { 2 } - 1 )\). Find the coordinates of the centroid of the region enclosed by \(C\), the \(x\)-axis and the line \(x = 3\).
