Question

Point, where the total volume of the body is assumed to be concentrated is

• A. Center of area
• B. Centroid of volume
• C. Centroid of mass
• D. All of the mentioned

Hint:

The centroid of mass represents the average position of mass in a body, and it is crucial for understanding the body's behavior under external forces.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Define the centroid of mass.
The centroid of mass (or center of mass) is the point where the mass of the body can be considered to be concentrated for analysis of motion.

Step 2: Centroid of mass vs centroid of volume.
The centroid of mass depends on the distribution of mass, whereas the centroid of volume is the geometric center.
In this case, the centroid of mass is the correct answer.
