1. In each case, use the element shown and specify x , y and dA.

2. Locate the center of mass x of the straight rod if it mass per unit length is given by m = m 0(1 + x 2/L2).

3. Determine the distance y to the center of gravity of the homogeneous rod.

4. Locate the centroid of the shaded area.

5. Locate the centroid x and y of the shaded area.


6. Locate the centroid y of the beam’s cross-sectional area.

7. Locate the centroid ( x , y ) of the cross-sectional area.

8. The car rests on four scales and in this position the scale readings of both the front and rear tires are
shown by FA and FB. When the rear wheels are elevated to a height of 3 ft above the front scales, the
new readings of the front wheels are also recorded. Use this data to compute the location x and y to the
center of gravity G of the car. The tires each have a diameter of 1.98 ft.
9. Determine the location ( x , y ) of the centroid C of the area.

10. Locate the centroid z of the spherical segment.

11. Locate the centroid y of the circular sector.

12. Determine the ( x , y ) for rectangle, right angle triangle, circle and sphere.
