The integral formulas for the centroid of a region (center of mass)

This calculus tutorial provides a detailed explanation of the integral formulas for the centroid of a region. (Note, the centroid is also called the center of mass). This is an application of integration that you will learn in your Calculus 2 or a static class. Subscribe to ‪@bprpcalculusbasics‬ for more calculus tutorials.

    A lot of the number theory that early mathematicians like euclid did never found usefulness until thousands of years later. Most high level maths done now is in that same boat of just discovering interesting things in whatever mathematical object they happen to be playing with. Maths is discovered almost always for the purpose of discovery itself and there is no obligation that it becomes useful, though it often does end up being.

    That takes me back to the 1980s when 0:06 I was playing with my Sinclair ZX81. I wrote a neat little program to find the centroid of an I beam. I then extended it to do the same for any shape as long as it was made up of rectangles. I think the initial data entry was first how many rectangles, and then for each rectangle, the location of the bottom left of each rectangle from any convenient origin, and it's width and height. The result was the coordinates from the previously defined origin. It was a nice little problem to code as I was learning the principles of simple coding .

    Real centroid formulas: m = ∬ρ(x, y)dxdy Mx = ∬yρ(x, y)dxdy My = ∬xρ(x, y)dxdy Centroid: (My/m, Mx/m) Also, in 3D, m = ∭ρ(x, y, z)dxdydz, and the centroid is equal to (Myz/m, Mzx/m, Mxy/m). Using this formula, we can derive the centroid of a given function z = f(x, y) under the curve is equal to: x- = x∬(f(x0, y0) - g(x0, y0))dxdy y- = y∬(f(x0, y0) - g(x0, y0))dxdy z- = ∬(f(x0, y0))^2dxdy

    @@joeythreeclubs Real centroid formulas are the formulas they are derived from. The formulas used in the video are only used for EXPLICIT R -> R functions (y = f(x)), etc. However, if you have an implicit f(x, y) function in the 2D plane, you use the real centroid formulas.

    4:00 : Since you're doing a centroid rather than a centre of mass, a more direct 1-dimensional analogy is where you (arbitrarily) cut the 10-metre bar somewhere (not in the middle), find the centroid of each piece, and compare those to the (obvious) centroid of the entire bar. Then you'll see that you need to weight each piece by its length.

    The x coordinate of a rectangle to be integrated would be (x + 1/2 dx). The area of that same rectangle is (x + 1/2 dx) f(x) = x f(x) + x/2 f(x) dx. Integrating this we get Int (x f(x) + x/2 f(x) dx) dx = Int x f(x) dx + Int [ x/2 f(x) dx ] dx. The second integral vanishes as dx approaches 0.

    For a one-dimensional object like a rod, if you know how the density ρ varies as a function of position, you can use this: ( ∫ xρ(x) dx ) / (total mass).

    You could instead do x̅=∫xdA/∫dA and y̅=∫ydA and setup double integrals or integrals in terms of inverse functions as appropriate. And if an area is bounded by piecewise functions or other complexities, you can still break it apart into components and sum them.
