What does the centroid represent in engineering mechanics?
38. What does the centroid represent in engineering mechanics?
- The point where the sum of moments about any axis is minimum
- The point of intersection of all internal forces in a body
- The point of equilibrium of a non-uniformly distributed load
- The point at which the weight of a body is expected to act
Answer
The correct answer is: D) The point at which the weight of a body is expected to act
Explanation
The centroid is the geometric center of a body or shape on whose all of the body's weight is expected to act. It is an important topic for studying structural equilibrium and stability.
