EXAMPLE 9.1
Locate the centroid of the rod bent into the shape of a parabolic arc
as shown in Fig. 9-8a.
SOLUTION
Differential Element. The differential element is shown in
Fig. 9-8a. It is located on the curve at the arbitrary point (x, y).
Area and Moment Arms. The differential element of length dL
can be expressed in terms of the differentials dx and dy, Fig. 9-8b,
using the Pythagorean theorem.
dL = V
V(dx)² + (dy)²
Since x = y², then dx/dy= 2y. Therefore, expressing dL in terms
of y and dy, we have
302
=
y =
dL = √(2y)² + 1 dy
As shown in Fig. 9-8a, the centroid of the element is located at x = x,
y = y.
Integrations. Applying Eq. 9-5 and using the integration formula
to evaluate the integrals, we get
