Chapter 4: Centre of Mass, Centroids, Moment of Inertia
Chapter overview
In this chapter, we will be covering:
C4.1 Centre of Mass
- the effective single point where the total weight is acting on
C4.2 Centroids
- the centre point for a geometry (line, area or volume)
C4.3 Centroid of Composite Bodies
- calculating the centroid of complex shapes that can be broken down simple shapes
C4.4 Moment of Inertia
- a property of a mass or geometry that governs its capacity for resistance of motion or stress
C4.5 Parallel-Axis Theorem
- transferring the reference axis for moment of inertia
