Sample Problems Centroid

1. The document discusses methods for calculating the centroid, or center of mass, of plane regions using integration and the method of composite areas. It provides examples of applying these methods to find the x- and y-coordinates of the centroid for various plane shapes, such as triangles, semicircles, and combinations of rectangles. 2. Integration is used to calculate the centroid of regions defined by equations, where the integrals are set up based on the area formula for each shape. 3. The method of composite areas breaks complex shapes into simpler components, calculates the area and centroid of each, then uses a weighted average to find the overall centroid.

FRICTION AND WEDGES

1. Determine the largest force P for which the 18-kg uniform bar remains in equilibrium.

0.2 =

0.2 sin 50 = sin 50 + 176.4

= sin 50 176.4 +

0.8 sin 50 = 176.4

= sin 50 + 176.4

176.4
;0.8 (sin 50)

= 287.84

= sin 50 +
= sin 50
0.2 sin 50 = sin 50 + 176.4

2. Derive the expression for the largest angle for which the homogeneous block stays in equilibrium.
Let

= tan

= 0;

cos sin = 0

= 0;

cos + sin = 0
cos cos ( sin ) = 0
=

sin : cos

sin(:) sin(;)

cos : sin

3. The man pushes the 60-kg homogeneous crate with the horizontal force P. Determine the largest distance h for which
the crate will slide without tipping.

= 0;

0 = (60)(9.8)

= 588

(0.4) = 588

= 1470

= 0;

0=

= 1470

= 0
0 = 0.75 = 1470() 0.75(588) = 0.3m
