List of centroids

The following is a list of centroids of various two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. The centroid of an object in -dimensional space is the intersection of all hyperplanes that divide into two parts of equal moment about the hyperplane. Informally, it is the "average" of all points of . For an object of uniform composition, the centroid of a body is also its center of mass. In the case of two-dimensional objects shown below, the hyperplanes are simply lines.

2-D Centroids

For each two-dimensional shape below, the area and the centroid coordinates are given:

ShapeFigureArea
rectangle area
General triangular area [1]
Isosceles-triangular area
Right-triangular area
Circular area
Quarter-circular area[2]
Semicircular area[3]
Circular sector
Circular segment
Annular sector
Quarter-circular arc The points on the circle and in the first quadrant
Semicircular arc The points on the circle and above the axis
Arc of circle The points on the curve (in polar coordinates) , from to
elliptical area
Quarter-elliptical area
Semielliptical area
Parabolic area The area between the curve and the line
Semiparabolic area

The area between the curve and the axis, from to

Parabolic spandrel The area between the curve and the axis, from to
General spandrel The area between the curve and the axis, from to
  • It should be noted to avoid confusion that for the centroid coordinates marked as zero, it truly means the coordinates are at the origin, and the equations to get those points are the lengths of the included axes divided by two, in order to reach the center which in these cases are the origin and thus zero.

3-D Centroids

For each three-dimensional body below, the volume and the centroid coordinates , are given:

ShapeFigureVolume
Cuboid a, b = the sides of the cuboid's base
c = the third side of the cuboid
Right-rectangular pyramid a, b = the sides of the base
h = the distance is from base to the apex
General triangular prism b = the base side of the prism's triangular base,
h = the height of the prism's triangular base
L = the length of the prism

Isoscele triangular prism b = the base side of the prism's triangular base,
