The purpose of this discussion is to think about centroids and weight distributions in your every day life and why understanding these concepts is important.
1. Think of a real-world design application where an engineer would need to know the center of mass (also known as center of gravity or centroid). Describe the application and why it's important for the engineer to calculate this quantity. 2. Think of a real-world application of a distributed load that we have not discussed in class. Add whether or not it would be useful to calculate a single equivalent point load in order to analyze the system.
