    The document discusses calculating the centroid of a line or shape by multiplying each segment's length by its distance from an axis and summing those values, noting this is equal to the total length multiplied by the centroid distance. It provides an equation for calculating centroids and references a table of common centroid variations. The examples show calculating centroids of lines using given segment lengths and distances from axes.

    The total line length multiplied by its centroid distance from an axis is equal to the sum of each segment

    line length multipled by its centroidal distance.

    Using 𝑦̅ and 𝑥̅ as centroidal distances and L for length, we have

    Some common variations of line centroids are given in Table 8–2.

    Solution

    𝐿1 = √1.62 + 1.22 = 2

    𝐿2 = √0.52 + 1.22 = 1.3


    𝐿 = 2 + 1.3 = 3.3

    3.3𝑦̅ = 2(0.6) + 1.3(0.6)


    2(0.6) + 1.3(0.6)
    𝑦̅ = = 0.6
    3.3

    3.3𝑥̅ = 2(0.8) + 1.3(1.35)


    2(0.8) + 1.3(1.35)
    𝑥̅ = = 1.02
    3.3

    𝐿1

    𝐿4
    𝐿2

    Solution
    𝐿1 = √1202 + 502 = 130 mm
    𝐿2 = 50 + 40 = 90 mm
    𝐿4 = 120 mm
    𝐿3 = 𝜋𝑟 = 𝜋(20) = 62.8 mm
    𝐿 = 𝐿1 + 𝐿2 + 𝐿3 + 𝐿4 = 403 mm
    403𝑦̅ = 130(60) + 90(0) + 62.8(120 + 2(20/𝜋) + 120(60)
    𝑦̅ = 57.9 mm
    403𝑥̅ = 130(25) + 90(45) + 62.8(50 + 20) + 120(90)

    𝑥̅ = 55.8 mm
