Figure P5.5

Transcribed Image Text:### Locating the Centroid of Plane Areas
The figures below illustrate various plane areas for which the centroid needs to be determined. Each figure is described with its respective measurements.
#### Fig. P5.1
- A composite rectangle.
- Vertical dimension: 300 mm.
- Horizontal dimensions: 200 mm for the left section and 400 mm for the right section.
- Offset vertical dimension on the left: 150 mm.
#### Fig. P5.2
- A trapezoidal shape with a triangular section on the right.
- Vertical dimension: 12 inches.
- Horizontal dimensions: 10 inches for the flat left section, 9 inches for the triangular section.
- The triangle is situated on top, creating a step on the left side of 8 inches.
#### Fig. P5.3
- A right-angled triangle.
- Vertical height: 270 mm.
- Base width: 135 mm.
- Top horizontal offset: 90 mm.
#### Fig. P5.4
- A rectangle with a right triangular cutout on the bottom left.
- Vertical dimension: 24 inches.
- Horizontal dimensions: 21 inches in total, with a triangular cutout.
- Height of the triangular section: 16 inches.
- Width of the rectangular extension on the right: 13 inches.
#### Fig. P5.5
- A semicircular shape attached to a rectangular base.
- Radius of the semicircle: 225 mm.
- Base horizontal length: 375 mm.
#### Fig. P5.6
- A rectangle with a semicircular cutout at the top center.
- Overall rectangle dimensions: 9 inches by 8 inches.
- Semicircular cutout: 4.5 inches radius (9 inches diameter), centered along the top width.
These diagrams present geometric configurations frequently used in engineering and physics. The centroid, known as the geometric center of a plane area, is an essential concept in structural analysis and design.
