Problem:
Objective:
Approach:
● Calculate centroid, I used the integral method to find the area of
both dx, and dy. I got x to equal 1.2 and y to equal 0.825.
● Caculate Mol, I used the shape cutting method and separated
them with a rectangle, semi circle, and circle. Then i found the
area of all of them and put them into my table and calculated
them all up. I got x to equal 38.30 and y to equal 0 because it
was multiplied by 0.
Calculations:
I write small (sorry)
Possible Errors:
Possible errors when doing this procedure was my cardboard
cutout being to small. I didnt have the material for it + it being
thanksgiving break i used what i could to be with my family members
and did my calculations as needed.
Conclusion:
For this Hands on Homework assignment I found it to be a little
confusing at first. I made a cutout of my model and used it as a
demonstration by my side of how I worked to calculate my answers. I
then used yarn to lift the model and hang it in the air to demonstrate
where the center is. Solving for the answers for the Mol wasnt too
difficult but I struggled a little on solving for the y when doing the
integral.
