CENTROID

Centroid of composite figure


Centroid

• Centroid is a
point where the
whole area of the
plane figure is
assumed to be
concentrated
Centre of
Gravity

•
It is a point where
the whole weight of
the body is assumed to
be concentrated
• It is a point where
which the whole body
can be balanced
Difference between Centroid and
Centre of Gravity
Centroid Centre of Gravity
• It is a point about which the • It is a point about which the entire
entire line,area or volume is weight of the body is assumed to
assumed to be concentrated be concentrated

• It is related to distribution
• It is the centre of mass
length,area and volume • It is related to mass of the body
Simple Geometrical Objects
Composite Figures
• Centroid of a figure
is always
represented in a
coordinate system
as shown in figure
below. The
calculation of
centroid means
determination of
coordinate
Determination of Centroid using
moment
Rectangle
Semi Circle
Axes of
Reference
• These are the axis
with respect to
which the centroid
of a given figure is
determined
Centroidal Axis
• The axis which
passes through the
centroid of the given
figureis known as
the centroidal axis,
such as the X-Xand
the Y-Y axis shown in
the figure
Symentrical
Axis

• In some simple
geometrical figure,
the intersection of
multiple line pf
symmentry is the
Centroid of the
figure
Centroid for some
shape
Centroid for Composite figure
• Centroid for composite figures can be calculated by
subtracting the empty space from the total solid
figure by using centroid of multiple objects
• If a figure is composed of multiple figures then
calculate the centroid for use
