Transcribed Image Text:Learning Goal:
To be able to find the centroid, center of mass, and center
of gravity for lengths, areas, and volumes of simple,
uniform objects.
The centroid of an object is the object's geometric center.
For objects of uniform composition, the centroid is also the
object's center of mass.
