please help

uhh, we haven't discussed anything about this.. i dont know how to do this

What is ask in the first drawing?

For the second drawing:
Mz=0   ←   Force F passes through the z-axis
 

d=42+62+82

d=229 m

Fx=230×4229=85.42 kN

Fy=230×6229=128.13 kN
 

Mx=8Fy=1025.04 Nm

My=8Fx=683.36 Nm

the first question sir is, "find the centroid of the shaded figure below"

sir thank you for your response, i'll study it

By symmetry
ˉx=10
 

Equation of L1:
x19+y21=1

y=21(1x19)
 

At x = 10
y=21(11019)

y=18019

A1=20(21)=420

A2=2×12(1)(21)=21

A3=12(20)(21y)=219019

A4=12(18y)=162019

A=A1A2A3A4
 

y1=212

y2=213

y3=2113(21y)

y4=13y
 

Aˉy=A1y1A2y2A3y3A4y4 and solve for ˉy.
 

Centroid: (10,ˉy)

sir thank you sir! i understand it pretty well. (maybe hehe)

*correction sir y=21(1−10/19)
y=189/19
*and sir about this:
x/19+y/21=1, why does it have to be equal to 1?

SIR I REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE THIS SITE AND YOUR HELP THANK YOU SO MUCH

i understand now sir, it happens that my first try was kinda right.. 10/x = 9/y = 19/21
but the answer is quite unbelievable.. centroid is (10,19.35) O.O
