The centroid of a polygon |
2007-12-29 |
|
From David: I am playing around with an idea. I've read previous answers to questions
(using surveyor calculation methods) related to finding the area of an irregular
shape parcel of land (or irregular polygon). Is there a formula or method for
calculating the centroid (mid-point) for this type of polygon. I've seen plenty
of methods for calculating the mid-point for a triangle or regular shape poloygon
but few for an irregular shape polygon such as a parcel of land. Thanks... Answered by Harley Weston. |

A perpendicular intersection of two barrel vaults |
2006-07-21 |
|
From Neal: I'm wanting to build a series of architectural models of different roman and medieval buildings out of cardboard. Once I have perfected the models I want to print them out on card stock so that school kids (or anyone else) can make the buildings.
A feature of many of these models is the cross or groin vault (a perpendicular intersection of two barrel vaults).
A single barrel vault is easy to imagine as a plane (a rectangular piece of cardboard) that will be folded into a semi-circular arch.
The intersection of a second barrel vault and this one is presenting me with problems. The second plane needs to have an ellipse cut into it so that when it is folded into the arch, it will mate up with the curve of the first barrel vault.
Given that the two pieces of card have identical widths (and therefore identical arcs in cross section) is there a way to calculate the ellipse that needs to be cut so that it can be cut before the second arch is folded? Answered by Edward Doolittle. |

The centroid of a triangle |
2006-01-18 |
|
From Andrea: I am trying to find the centriod of a triangle. I have been given the three vertices of the triangle: A (-25, -20), B (-5, -40), and C (15, 30). I believe I calculated the correct midpoints: AB(E) (-5, 5), BC(D) (5, -5), and AC(F) (-15, -30). When I graphed these points I came up with the solution (-5, -10), but I can't seem to write the answer out (equations of the lines, etc) correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Vectors in three space |

From Jo: I have two questions that I just cannot visulise and dont know how to get started on them..!
1. Ship X is sailing North at 4m/s and Ship Y is sailing due East at 3m/s. A sailor on Ship X climbs a vertical pole at 1/2 m/s. What is the velocity of the sailor on Ship X relative to an observer on Ship Y? State it's magnitude and direction.
Not sure where to start with this one...
2. Show, using vectors, that for any tetrahedron, the segments joining the midpoints of the opposite edges are concurrent.
i know what a tetradedron is, and what I am proving but do I solve simultaneously for a specific case?? Answered by Walter Whiteley. |

Volumes |
1998-08-29 |
|
From Lorraine Wall: Consider the region in the first quadrant bounded by the x and y axes, the vertical line x=3 and the curve y = 1 / (x squared + 3). Determine the volume of the solid by rotating this region about the x-axis. Now that is the first part. I then have to find the coordinates of the centroid of the solid by rotating this region about the x-axis. Thanks. Lorraine Answered by Harley Weston. |

From Amandine: Sur la figure ci-contre on peut voir 3 maisons A, B et C nouvellement construites. Toutes les 3 doivent être reliées au gaz, à l'eau et à l'électricité. Cependant, tous ces raccordements doivent impérativement avoir lieu dans un même plan et les câbles et autres canalisations ne peuvent pas se croiser. Comment doit-on s'y prendre pour relier les 3 maisons à l'eau, au gaz et à l'électricité? Answered by Claude Tardif. |
