    • @Engineer4Free
      @Engineer4Free  6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      You can find the y coordinate by doing the exact same process, just switching every instance of "x" with "y"

    Hi! Thanks for making these informative videos !! They really help. But I am getting stuck on one concept. How do we know when to use which centroid formula for a triangle ? Why didn't we use the 1/3 b for the centroid as opposed to the 2/3b? What is the main difference?
    Thanks for all your help.

    • @MrMegaomer
      @MrMegaomer 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      the smaller side I believe you use the 1/3 and the bigger one you use 2/3 when you divide the triangle from the middle

      @Engineer4Free  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks, but yeah that was my bad. I didn't bother because at the time when I made this it was a just precursor to simple distributed loading problems wihh vertical loads in which the y bar is never needed, but it could be for sloped members or wind/pressure loading etc... So whoops sorry!

    Sir, when will xbar or ybar for the centroid of a shape be equal to zero?

    • @Engineer4Free
      @Engineer4Free  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      X bar will be zero if the centroid lays on the y axis. Y bar will be zero if the centroid lays on the x axis.

    • @Engineer4Free
      @Engineer4Free  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The center of area of a full circle is in "the middle." Just draw a semicircle by itself and try to locate the "middle." You wouldn't draw the middle touching an edge, it would be about where I have drawn it in this video. Make sense? circles and semicircles are different shapes.

      If the triangle was flipped vertically, the short side would still be on the left, so the calculation would be the same.

      The shape on the right is a semi circle. It is 3 units tall (see y axis). That means the diameter of the (would be full circle) semicircle is 3. Radius is 1/2 diameter, = 3/2 =1.5

      Yes whoops, I should have also demonstrated ybar. I didn't, because in most statics problems like this, you only need xbar, but ybar is the same, just swap all the x's for y's. so ybar=ΣyiAi/ΣAi
