Chapter 9 Centroid

Centroid of area
Assume an area is bounded by curve y=f(x) and lies in x-y plane as shown in
figure below, then the centroid of this are will lie in the same plane and can be
found from the following equation

The integrals can be evaluated by performing a single integration if we use a

rectangular strip as shown in figure below.

In the equation,
A= area of the strip
𝑦 ~ = 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑝 𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑖𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠
