⚡ Mecademy AIENG정역학 · ch5 Problem Statement Determine the -coordinate of the centroid of the volume obtained by revolving the shaded triangular area about the -axis through . Problem 5/30 (a) Calculation of the -coordinate of the centroid of the volume 1. Formula: The -coordinate of the centroid of a volume of revolution about the - axis is given by: where the differential volume element using horizontal disks is . 2. Substitution: From the given diagram, the shaded triangular area has vertices at , , and . The hypotenuse is defined by the equation , which gives the inner radius for a horizontal disk at height as . The outer boundary is the vertical line at , so the outer radius is . The height ranges from to . Substituting these into the volume integral: 3.
