Statics (MET 2214) Prof. Simin Nasseri Center of gravity and Centroids Part 2 MET 2214.
COMPOSITE BODIES Today’s Objective: Students will be able to determine: a) The location of the center of gravity. b)The location of the center of mass.
Centroid/CG/CM...so far Apply to differential elements of mass (dm) dm can either be (assuming constant –dA (for 2D problem) –dl (for wire problem)
