A weather vane has the shape of a trapezoid with a semicircle on one end. Find the distance x to ...
A Norman window has the shape of a rectangle surmounted by a semicircle. (Thus the diameter of the semicircle is equal to the width of the rectangle.) If the perimeter of the window is 24 ft, find the value of x so that the greatest possible amount of light is admitted.
%) A metal plate has the shape of an isosceles TRAPEZOID that is 7 feet across the top, 3 feet across the bottom, and 4 feet high. If this trapezoidal plate is immersed vertically in a liquid that weighs w lb/ft' with its upper base 10 feet below the surface of the liquid, SET UP (but DO NOT EVALUATE) AN INTEGRAL (or INTEGRALS), in terms of y, that represents the amount of FLUID FORCE that is exerted by the liquid...

3) Find the centroid (x and y) for the following shape
1) Find the area of the body. 2) Find x¯, the x-coordinate of the body's centroid. 3) Find y¯, the y-coordinate of the body's centroid. To be able to find the center of gravity, the center of mass, and the centroid of a composite body. A centroid is an object's geometric center. For an object of uniform composition, its centroid is also its center of mass. Often the centroid of a complex composite body is found by, first, cutting the...
Video Example EXAMPLE 1 A dam has the shape of a trapezoid shown in the top figure. The height is 20 m and the width is 40 m at the top and 20 m at the bottom. Find the force on the dam due to hydrostatic pressure if the water level is 6 m from the top of the dam. 40 m SOLUTION We choose a vertical x-axis with origin at the surface of the water and directed downward as...
Learning Goal Part A To be able to find the center of gravity, the center of mass, and the centroid of a composite body. An object is made from a uniform piece of sheet metal. The object has dimensions of a : 1.35 ft ,b = 3.82 ft , and c = 2.45 ft. A hole with diameter d = 0700 ft is centered at (1.12, 0.675). Find 2,y, the coordinates of the body's centroid (Figure 1) Express your answers...

An elastic string of negligible mass has one end fixed to a ceiling at point A. The other end, point B, which is attached to a particle of mass 3 kg, is in a position such that it is vertically below point A, with the distance AB equal to 0.7 m. The mass is released from rest. If the modulus of elasticity of the string is 35 N and its natural length is 1.3m find i) The distance of the...
