Moments, Centers of Mass, & Centroids | Calculus 2 Lesson 9 - JK Math

How to Find Moments, Centers of Mass, and Centroids (Calculus 2 Lesson 9)
In this video we learn about moments, centers of mass, and centroids as they relate to calculus and definite integrals. First, we look at the most basic case in a one-dimensional system of masses. Then we extend the concept to two-dimensions and discuss how to find the center of mass for planar lamina in the x-y plane, which is sometimes called the centroid of a region.

This series is designed to help students understand the concepts of Calculus 2 at a grounded level. No long, boring, and unnecessary explanations, just what you need to know at a reasonable and digestible pace, with the goal of each video being shorter than the average school lecture!
Calculus 2 requires a solid understanding of calculus 1, precalculus, and algebra concepts and techniques. This includes limits, differentiation, basic integration, factoring, equation manipulation, trigonometric functions, logarithms, graphing, and much more. If you are not familiar with these prerequisite topics, be sure to learn them first!

    @JKMath Actually our book is called "Thomas Calculus the 11th edition" and I noticed there is a few similarities between chapters but for example the next chapter in my book(chapter 7) is called "TRANSCENDENTAL FUNCTIONS" which I couldn't find in your playlist unfortunately.

    What should i do to find the center of mass of the region bounded by 4 different function? i.e a region bounded by y=(x^2)/2, y=4-x, y=1-x, and y=3x. im kinda confused on how to find the Mx or My since i cant describe the region by 1 integral

    So that's a tricky one... The only way that I can think to do this using only Calculus 1 and 2 skills is by using more than just one integral as you may have suspected. I think you would need to formulate some new equations for the moments about x and y axis to replace the formulas I find beginning at 25:12. I took a look at the region bounded by the equations you gave me, and it seems that you could split this region into 3 different sections. The reason being that (in the x direction) the "top" and "bottom" functions for the region change 3 times. For section 1 (x=1/4 to x=√3-1), y=3x is the top function and y=1-x is the bottom function. For section 2 (x=√3-1 to x=1), the top function is still y=3x but the bottom function changes to be y=(x^2)/2. Then for section 3 (from x=1 to x=2) the top function changes to y=4-x and the bottom function remains y=(x^2)/2. For each of those sections you could try to form the moment equations Mx and My, although that seems to be a lot to ask...as I am not sure whether it makes sense to add the moments for each section together or average them. I can see how this confused you, as it is confusing me as well haha. Like I said at the beginning, this is a pretty tricky problem. After thinking about it for a bit, I believe this problem would probably best be solved using a double integral, which is a Calculus 3 concept. Double integrals make calculating area of complex shapes like that a lot easier (and you only need "1" integral, no adding integrals together). Are you in a more advanced class than calc 2? Because this problem is certainly above the level of a typical calculus 2 course in my opinion. Let me know! Hope I was able to help in some way :)

    @@JKMath thanks for the answer! Im in calc 2 class. Actually, the question i ask is not actually the main question, but the problem that my lecturer gave me requires that region center of mass in order to be solved. But there is a posibillity that my lecturer gave me a wrong problem or its my own mistake in understanding the problem itself. Again, thanks for the answer! :)

    You're welcome, I wish I could give you a better answer though. That's one nasty problem if you did interpret it right. I hope you are able to figure it out regardless!
