Explanation Given: The centroid of the differential element along x axis is x ˜ . The area of each segment is represented by A . Explanation: Show the shaded area is divided into two segments as in Figure 1. Determine the location of the centroid C of the shaded area along x axis ( x ¯ ) using the relation. x ¯ = ∑ x ˜ A ∑ A (I) Conclusion: Refer to Figure (1) and use the spreadsheet to calculate the value of x ˜ A for three segments as shown in Table 1. Segment A ( in . 2 ) x ˜ ( in . ) x ˜ A ( in . 3 ) 1 1 2 r 2 α 2 r 3 α sin α ( 2 r 3 α sin α ) ( 1 2 r 2 α ) = 1 3 r 3 sin α 2 − 1 2 ( r sin α ) ( r cos α ) 2 3 r cos α ( 2 3 r cos α ) [ − 1 2 ( r sin α ) ( r cos α ) ] = − 1 3 r 3 sin α cos 2 α ∑ 1 2 r 2 α + − 1 2 ( r sin
