I have the x and y coordinate of the points belonging to a curve and I am not able to figure out how to solve this two integrals:
\int\limits_0^{s_1} ty \, ds_1
and
\int\limits_0^{s_1} tx \, ds_1
Note: t in a known scalar, the two integrals are written in latex code to avoid misunderstanding

Please define the "ds_1" variable - or is it just "ds"? Do you mean arc-length?

You are right, ds_1 can be replaced by d_s.
For example if x=linspace(0,2,100) and y=zeros(size(x)) you will get:
0<=s<=2
