Transcribed Image Text:Learning Goal:
To be able to find the center of gravity, the center of mass,
and the centroid of a composite body.
A centroid is an object's geometric center. For an object of
uniform composition, its centroid is also its center of mass.
Often the centroid of a complex composite body is found by,
first, cutting the body into regular shaped segments, and then
by calculating the weighted average of the segments'
centroids.
