Center of the triangle
The center of the triangle is the center of symmetry of one of the most common shapes in engineering and construction. An important practical application of calculating this parameter is the need to know where the center of gravity of a particular element of a concrete or metal structure will be located.
The center of the triangle, center of gravity, and center of symmetry are located at one point. It is at this point, the intersection of the three medians, that the weight of the entire homogeneous triangular-shaped part is focused. When determining the center of the triangle G using the online calculator, you need to set the coordinates of its vertices:
o (x1, y1);
o (x2, y2);
o (x3, y3).
An important direction in a number of engineering calculations is the determination of static moments concerning certain complex-shaped parts. It should be borne in mind that any figure can be represented as a combination of simple shapes, such as a triangle, rectangle, etc.
The static moment of a complex part can be determined as the sum of the static moments of its constituent elements. Hence the importance of quickly finding the values of the triangle's center (center of gravity), rectangle, etc.
