Question

The x axis coordinate and the y axis coordinate of the centroid are having different types of calculations to calculate them.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was asked during an online interview.

Query is from Centroid of a Body in section Centre of Gravity and Centroid of Engineering Mechanics

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) False

For explanation I would say: The calculation is general to all the axis of the coordinate system. This means that the calculations are generalised for all the axis. All the axis are given the same priority. Thus no change in calculations.
