Moments and center of


mass
Mass:
mass density = mass/area or mass/volume

mass density is a function of position:  ( x, y, z )

total mass: M ( R)    dA or M ( D)    dV


R D

Moment and center of mass:


moment = mass x distance
at the center of mass, moments must add to 0
mass mi are distributed on the x axis at coordinate xi M   mi total mass

if x is the center of mass, then need  m (x  x )  0

if  ( x, y ) is mass density of a region R in the x-y plane, total mass is M    dA

M y is moment around the y axis, M x is moment around the x axis:

since distance to the y axis is x, we have: M y =   xdA M x =   ydA


R R

if ( x , y ) is the center of mass, then both


the moment around the x axis and moment
around the y axis must cancel:
