    Chapter 9: Center of Gravity and Centroid

    Faculty of Mechanical Engineering


    Chapter 9: Center of Gravity and Centroid
     CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
     To discuss the concept of the center of gravity,
    center of mass, and the centroid.
     To determine the location of the center of gravity
    Today’s Class

    and centroid for a body of arbitrary shape and


     To determine the location of the center of gravity
    and centroid for a body composed of composite
    parts.
     To use the theorems of Pappus and Guldinus for
    finding the surface area and volume for a body
    having axial symmetry. Upcoming Class
     To present a method for finding the resultant of a
    general distributed loading and to show how it
    applies to finding the resultant force of a
    pressure loading caused by a fluid.
    Center of Gravity
     A body is composed of an infinite number of particles of differential size,
    and so if the body is located within a gravitational field, then each of these
    particles will have a weight dW
     These weights will form an approximately parallel force system, and the
    resultant of this system is the total weight of the body, which passes
    through a single point called the center of gravity, G
    Center of Gravity
    Total weight of the rod is the sum of the weights of all of
    its particles

    The location of the center of gravity, measured from the y


    axis, is determined as
    Center of Gravity
    Center of Mass
     Centre of mass is the point at which the distribution of mass is equal
    in all directions, and does not depend on gravitational field
     In order to study the dynamic response or accelerated motion of a
    body, it becomes important to locate the body’s center of mass Cm

     Condition: ‘g’ should be uniform or constant over the entire object


    Center of Volume
    • The centroid of volume is the geometric center of a body
    • If the body is made from a homogeneous material, then its density r(rho)
    will be constant

     Condition: ‘ρ’ should be constant in the entire object, homogenous material


    Centroid of an Area
    Centroid of a line
     If a line segment (or rod) lies within the x–y plane and it can be
    described by a thin curve y =f(x), then its centroid is determined from
