[edit] Centroids Of Common Shapes Of Areas And Lines

[edit] Triangular Area

Area = \frac {b*h}{2}

[edit] Quarter Circular Area

Area = \frac { \pi\ r^2}{4}

[edit] Semicircular Area

Area = \frac { \pi\ r^2}{2}

[edit] Semiparabolic Area

Area = \frac {2ah}{3}

[edit] Parabolic Area

Area = \frac {4ah}{3}

[edit] Parabolic Spandrel

Area = \frac {ah}{3}

[edit] Circular Sector

Area = \alpha\ r^2

[edit] Quarter Circular Arc

Area = \frac { \pi\ }{2}

[edit] Semi Circular Arc

Area = \pi\ r

[edit] Arc Of Circle

Area = 2 \alpha\ r

[edit] Moments Of Inertia of Common Geometric Shapes

[edit] Rectangle

I = \frac {b h^3}{12}

[edit] Triangle

[edit] Circle

I = \frac { \pi\ r^4}{4}

[edit] Hollow circle

This is used for hollow cylinders where there is solid material between the outer and inner radius, but no material between the inner radius and the center, like a pipe's cross-section.

I = \frac { \pi\ (r_o^4 - r_i^4)
} {4}

ro is the outer radius ri is the inner radius

[edit] Ellipse
