    Centroids and Centers of Gravity

    Uploaded by

    Danzel C Dayondon
    The document defines centroids and centers of gravity. It states that a centroid is the point at which the entire area or mass of an object is assumed to be concentrated and is defined as the geometric center of a composite area or object. It also defines center of gravity and discusses calculating centroids for different shapes like lines, composite figures, and T-sections of beams. The document provides examples of problems and solutions for finding centroids.

    DEFINITION OF CENTER OF GRAVITY
    DEFINITION OF CENTROIDS

    • Centroid is a point at which the entire area of an


    object is assumed to be acting or concentrated.
    • It is also defined as a point of geometric center
    of a composite area or an object.
    • The centroid is noted by C.G or G.
    • The position of the centroid can be defined by
    the shape of object.
