(b) The addition of centroid and weight to the total weight

(c) The subtraction of centroid and volume to the total weight

(d) The product of centroid and volume to the total volume

I had been asked this question in an interview for job.

I need to ask this question from Centre of Gravity topic in chapter Centre of Gravity and Centroid of Engineering Mechanics

Answer 1

Correct answer is (d) The product of centroid and volume to the total volume

Explanation: The product of the centroid of the section to its volume to the total volume of the body is the centre of volume. Thus the answer. The ratio is generally used to locate the coordinate of the centroid or the centre of volume.
