⚡ Mecademy AIENG정역학 · ch5  Problem Statement Calculate the -coordinate of the centroid of the shaded area. Problem 5/45 (a) y-coordinate of the centroid ● Calculation Process 1. Present Final Formula: The -coordinate of the centroid for a composite area is determined by the formula: where is the area of each component part and is the -coordinate of the centroid of that part. For this problem, we treat the area as a solid semicircle (Part 1) minus a rectangular cutout (Part 2). 2. Substitute Values: Identify the geometric properties for each part based on the provided diagram: Part 1: Semicircle Radius: Area: Centroid: Part 2: Rectangular Cutout Width: Height: Area: Centroid: y y =yˉ A ∑ i A ∑ i yˉ i A i yˉ i y =yˉ A −A 12 A −A 1 yˉ 12 yˉ 2 r=74 mm A = 1 πr= 2 1 2 π(74) 2 1 2 =yˉ 1 = 3π 4r 3π 4(74) b=32+32=64 mm h=32 mm A = 2 b⋅h=64⋅32 =yˉ 2 = 2 h = 2 32 16 mm Substituting into the formula: 3. Partial Operations: Calculate individual components: First Moment of Area (Part 1): First Moment of Area (Part 2): Net Area: Net First Moment: 4.
