Center of Gravity and Centroid

The term center of gravity indicates the position or location of a point about which the whole weight of a body or system is supposed to be concentrated, which means the whole weight of the body or system works through this point. It is closely related t…

Calculate ly about the centroid of the following shape. (It should look familiar). Recall that xpar = 2.11 ft. Remember you want to calculate I of each shape about its centroid, then use the parallel axis theorem to relate it to the global centroid. Hint: break into 4 pieces: half circle, square, triangle and open circle. Remember you want to subtract the empty circle! Use Ix'= 0.11r4 for the half- circle. Then just figure out each distance from the centroid of the component to the global centroid and that is your D in the AD? term. Good luck! Enter your answer without units in the space below. Follow correct sig figs! y 3 ft- -3 ft- 1.5 ft 1 ft X-
