Lesson #15 Centroid of Plane Areas and of Solids of Revolution-1
Productivity Tip:
Create a Distraction Free Study Environment. Mathematics demand more attention than any other
subject. The deciding factor may be a good learning setting and a distraction-free environment when
solving math problems.
A. LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW
1) Introduction (2 mins)
Find the length of the curve 9��2 = 4��3from the origin to the point (3, 2√3). [ ������. 14/3
����������]
We have already discussed some applications of definite integrals, such as finding areas of plane regions,
volumes of solids of revolution, arc lengths, and areas of surface of revolution. In this lesson we develop
computational techniques for finding the centroids of plane regions, and centroids of solids of revolution.

B.MAIN LESSON
The centroid is a point which defines the geometric center of an object, i.e. the centroid is used when
the calculation concerns a geometrical shape only.

Example 4. Determine the centroid of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the
curve �� = ��2, �� = 9. and �� = 0, about the ��-axis.
Since the axis of revolution is the y-axis, the centroid of the solid is on that axis, giving ��̅= 0.
Curve: �� = ��2
Vertex: ��(0,0)
Line: �� = 9
