Introduction
The earth exerts a gravitational force on each of the particles
forming a body. These forces can be replace by a single
equivalent force equal to the weight of the body and applied
at the center of gravity for the body.
The centroid of an area is analogous to the center of
gravity of a body. The concept of thefirst moment of anarea is used to locate the centroid.
Determination of the area of asurface of revolution and
the volume of a body of revolution are accomplished
with the Theorems of Pappus-Guldinus.

First Moments of Areas and Lines
An area is symmetric with respect to an axis BB
if for every pointPthere exists a pointP
suchthat PP is perpendicular to BBand is divided
into two equal parts by BB.
The first moment of an area with respect to a
line of symmetry is zero.
If an area possesses a line of symmetry, its
centroid lies on that axis
If an area possesses two lines of symmetry, its
centroid lies at their intersection.
An area is symmetric with respect to a centerO
if for every element dA at (x,y) there exists an
area dAof equal area at (-x,-y).
The centroid of the area coincides with the
center of symmetry.

The procedure for locating the
centroids of volumes by direct
integration can be simplified:
2. If possible, identify an element of volume dV which produces
a single or double integral, which are easier to compute.
3. After setting up an expression fordV, integrate and determine
the centroid.

Assuming the submerged body has a width b, the load per unit
length is w= bgh, where h is the distance below the surface ofthe fluid.
1. First, determine the pressure distributionacting perpendicular
the surface of the submerged body. The pressure distribution
will be either triangular or trapezoidal.
