Lecture

Distributed Forces: Center of Mass and Centroids in Structural Mechanics

Description

This lecture covers the concept of distributed loads, centroids, and the center of mass in structural mechanics. It explains how to determine the center of forces and the centroids of lines, areas, and volumes. The instructor illustrates the equilibrium states of structures under distributed forces and the stability criteria. Examples are provided to demonstrate the application of these concepts in real-world scenarios.
