| |
| Address questions regarding Assignment #13. |
| |
| Review the concepts of centroids, centers of mass, and centers of gravity with emphasis |
| on the solution of problems involving composite bodies as discussed in R/S Chapter 5 |
| (pp. 189-220). |
| |
| Examples are presented in Worked Problem Set #14. |
| Skills/Objectives: |
| |
| Calculate centroids, centers of mass, and centers of gravity for lines, areas, and solids |
| using composite area concepts. |
| Assessment: |
| |
| Homework Set #14: Work problems 5-31, 34, 39, 51 and 54 (due on Day 15). |
| Resources: |
| |
| R/S Chapter 5 (pp. 189-220). |
| Notes: |
| |
| It is assumed that the students have received adequate instruction in the calculation of |
| centroids, centers of mass, and centers of gravity using integration techniques in Calculus |
| classes. Therefore, the homework and worked problems focus on composite body |
| solutions. |
| Advanced Organizers: |
| |
| Read R/S Chapter 10 (pp. 584-595). |
