We save one integration here by

using the rst-order element of area. Recognize that dA must be expressed in terms of the integration variable y; hence, x ( y) is required.

This same result holds with respect to either of the other two sides of the triangle considered a new base with corresponding new altitude. Thus, the centroid lies at the intersection of the medians, since the distance of this point from any side is one-third the altitude of the triangle with that side considered the base.

r C

Solution I. The x-axis is chosen as the axis of symmetry, and y is therefore automatically zero. We may cover the area by moving an element in the form of a partial circular ring, as shown in the gure, from the center to the outer periphery. The radius of the ring is r0 and its thickness is dr0, so that its area is dA 2r0 dr0. The x-coordinate to the centroid of the element from Sample Problem 5/1 is xc r0 sin /, where r0 replaces r in the formula. Thus, the rst of Eqs. 5/5a gives

Helpful Hints The area may also be covered by swinging a triangle of differential area about the vertex and through the total angle of the sector. This triangle, shown in the illustration, has an area dA (r/2)(r d), where higher-order terms are neglected. From Sample Problem 5/2 the centroid of the triangular element of area is two-thirds of its altitude from its vertex, so that the x-coordinate to the 2 centroid of the element is xc 3 r cos . Applying the rst of Eqs. 5/5a gives [Ax

Note carefully that we must distinguish between the variable r0 and the constant r. Be careful not to use r0 as the centroidal coordinate for the element.

It should be noted that, if we had chosen a second-order element r0 dr0 d, one integration with respect to would yield the ring with which Solution I began.

Locate the centroid of the volume of a hemisphere of radius r with respect to its base.

Solution I. With the axes chosen as shown in the gure, x z 0 by symmetry. The most convenient element is a circular slice of thickness dy parallel to the x-z plane. Since the hemisphere intersects the y-z plane in the circle y2 z2 r2, the radius of the circular slice is z r2 y2. The volume of the elemental slice becomes

As an alternative, we could use the angle as our variable with limits of 0 and /2. The radius of either element would become r sin , whereas the thickness of the slice in Solution I would be dy (r d) sin and that of the shell in Solution II would be dz (r d) cos . The length of the shell would be y r cos .

Sample Problem 5/8

Locate the center of mass of the bracket-and-shaft combination. The vertical face is made from sheet metal which has a mass of 25 kg/m2. The material of the horizontal base has a mass of 40 kg/m2, and the steel shaft has a density of 7.83 Mg/m3.

The composite body may be considered to be composed of the ve elements shown in the lower portion of the illustration. The triangular part will be taken as a negative mass. For the reference axes indicated it is clear by symmetry that the x-coordinate of the center of mass is zero. The mass m of each part is easily calculated and should need no further explanation. For Part 1 we have from Sample Problem 5/3 z 4(50) 4r 21.2 mm 3 3

For Part 3 we see from Sample Problem 5/2 that the centroid of the triangular mass is one-third of its altitude above its base. Measurement from the coordinate axes becomes z [150 25 1 (75)] 100 mm 3 The y- and z-coordinates to the mass centers of the remaining parts should be evident by inspection.

Determine the volume V and surface area A of the complete torus of circular cross section.

Solution.

The torus can be generated by revolving the circular area of radius a through 360 about the z-axis. With the use of Eq. 5/9a, we have

We note that the angle of revolu-

tion is 2 for the complete ring. This common but special-case result is given by Eq. 5/9.
