CENTROID
CENTRE OF GRAVITY
Centre of gravity : It of a body is the point at which the whole weight of the body may be assumed to be concentrated.
It is represented by CG. or simply G or C.
A body is having only one center of gravity for all positions of the body.

CENTRE OF GRAVITY
Consider a three dimensional body of any size and shape, having a mass m.
If we suspend the body as shown in figure, from any point such as A, the body will be in equilibrium under the action of the tension in the cord and the resultant W of the gravitational forces acting on all particles of the body.
2
Resultant W is collinear with the Cord
Assume that we mark its position by drilling a hypothetical hole of negligible size along its line of action

To determine mathematically the location of the centre of gravity of any body,
Centre of gravity is that point about which the summation of the first moments of the weights of the elements of the body is zero.
we apply the principle of moments to the parallel system of gravitational forces.

We repeat the experiment by suspending the body from other points such as B and C, and in each instant we mark the line of action of the resultant force.
For all practical purposes these lines of action will be concurrent at a single point G, which is called the
centre of gravity of the body.

The moment of the resultant gravitational force W, about any axis
=the algebraic sum of the moments about the same axis of the gravitational forces dW acting on all infinitesimal elements of the body.

The density ρ of a body is mass per unit volume. Thus, the mass of a differential element of volume dV becomes dm = ρ dV .

This point is called the centre of mass and clearly coincides with the centre of gravity as long as the gravity field is treated as uniform and parallel.

Equation 2 is independent of g and therefore define a unique point in the body which is a function solely of the distribution of mass.

When the density ρ of a body is uniform throughout, it will be a constant factor in both the numerators and denominators of equation (3) and will therefore cancel.The remaining expression defines a purely geometrical property of the body.

CENTROID
12
When speaking of an actual physical body, we use the
term “centre of mass”.
Calculation of centroid falls within three distinct
categories, depending on whether we can model the
shape of the body involved as a line, an area or a
volume.
The term centroid is used when the calculation concerns
a geometrical shape only.
13
LINES: for a slender rod or a wire of length L, cross-sectional area A, and density ρ, the body approximates a line segment, and dm = ρA dL. If ρ and A are constant over the length of the rod, the coordinates of the centre of mass also becomes the coordinates of the centroid, C of the line segment, which may be written as

14
AREAS: when the density ρ, is constant and the body has a small constant thickness t, the body can be modeled as a surface area. The mass of an element becomes dm = ρ t dA.
If ρ and t are constant over entire area, the coordinates of the ‘centre of mass’ also becomes the coordinates of the centroid, C of the surface area and which may be written as

VOLUMES: for a general body of volume V and density ρ, the element has a mass dm = ρ dV .
If the density is constant the coordinates of the centre of mass also becomes the coordinates of the centroid, C of the volume and which may be written as

If an area has an axis of symmetry, then the centroid must lie on that axis.If an area has two axes of symmetry, then the centroid must lie at the point of intersection of these axes.
AXIS of SYMMETRY:
It is an axis w.r.t. which for an elementary area on one side of the axis , there is a corresponding elementary area on the other side of the axis (the first moment of these elementary areas about the axis balance each other)
17
For example:
The rectangular shown in the figure has two axis of symmetry, X-X and Y-Y. Therefore intersection of these two axes gives the centroid of the rectangle.
