Problem Set:

1. The dimensions of the T-section of a cast iron beam are shown in the
figure. How far is the centroid of the area above the base?

2. A slender homogeneous wire of uniform cross section is bent into the


shape shown. Determine the coordinates of its centroid.
[Link] the centroid of the shaded area shown, which is bounded by
the X axis, the line x = a and the parabola y2 = kx.
