Centroids

The golfer guessed that his ball landed 20 feet off the fairway. Of course, that was just a rough estimate.

Centroids

¢ When we dealt with distributed loads, we found the magnitude of the force generated by the loading as the under the loading curve. ¢ I gave you the location of the line of action of the force for both a rectangular

and a right-triangular shape.

¢ In this meeting, we are going to find out just why that line of action was located where it was. ¢ The line of action was located through the centroidial axis of the loading diagram. ¢ If we took a centroidial axis in every direction, their intersection point would be

known as the centroid

¢ By common practice, we refer to the centroidal axis as the centroid but to keep the confusion down we will often speak of a x-centroid or a y-centroid referring to the coordinate along that axis where the centroidal axis intersects the coordinate

axis.
