    ASSIGNMENT

    Assignment Title: Assignment on Center of Gravity and Centroid


    Due Date: TBD
    Part I: For the question below give concise answers.

    1. Differentiate the following terms.


    a) Center of Gravity
    b) Center of Mass
    c) Centeroid (Center of Geometry)

    Part II: Carryout the necessary steps in solving the following problems.

    1. Determine the distance to the center of mass of the homogeneous rod bent into the shape
    shown. If the rod has a mass per unit length of 0.5kg/m, determine the reactions at the fixed
    support O.

    3
    2. The plate is made of steel having a density of 7850kg/m . If the thickness of the plate is 10 mm,
    determine the horizontal and vertical components of reaction at the pin A and the tension in cable
    BC.

    5. The steel plate is 0.3m thick and has a density of 7850kg/m . Determine the location of its center
    of mass. Also determine the horizontal and vertical reactions at the pin and the reaction at the
    roller support. Hint: The normal force at B is perpendicular to the tangent at B, which is found
    from tan θ = dy/dx.
