Mechanical Engineering: Centroids & Center of Gravity (1 of 35) What is Center of Gravity?

Visit ilectureonline.com for more math and science lectures!
In this video I will explain what is the center of gravity.
Next video in this series can be seen at:

Professor nowadays are fearful to use their whiteboards. Instead they rely heavily on their powerpoints and quickly lose the attention of their class. Instead of powerpoints they should we called weakpoints! Shout out to you for keeping it interesting and thorough!

[@RZ-psb1o]

Thank you for these videos on Mechanical Engineering Michel, right in time, since I am currently dealing with this topic.
Passing all subjects in my first year at college was possible because of you to some extent.
Keep going, and thank you again, you are a top notch teacher.

[@connormckenny8910]

Wow, this series has been amazingly helpful. I would probably have failed my statics class without it. You're an awesome teacher!

[@moaiya8]

This guy deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for saving numbers of engineering undergrats

[@eriveltonascimento7061]

hi...now iam mechanical engineer and I agree wiht u....kkk

[@thomasvarghese4085]

True

[@proxxysikhoya678]

Totally

[@riteshguptaself-owneddesig7685]

Your voice is so crystal clear n loud enough too

[@ilhalee]

This saved my life. I absolutely adore and send much gratitude to you

[@MichelvanBiezen]

We appreciate your comment but we ask that you leave out certain words because younger viewwers may be reading these comments.

[@MichelvanBiezen]

We are working on them. They'll be uploaded soon.

[@mostafaabdelrauof3185]

+Michel van Biezen I have noticed that you upload a video every day .. so you upload many videos in several years and these is a great success.. I hope you make lectures about serious work and success.. (determination, insistence..etc )

[@mostafaabdelrauof3185]

+Mostafa Abdelrauof this will be very useful for people who want to be like you in the future :)

[@GwenLw98]

Thank you so much :)

[@bebarshossny5766]

Give this man a medal

[@ahmedal-ebrashy3691]

Finally I know why I can balance two forks on a tooth pick. I fulfilled my purpose in life. Thank you Mr. Michael

[@doordie7560]

best ever on centroids & centre of gravity...sooo goooos

[@jasondavidvailoces9199]

I hope you were my Professor! -a fan from the Philippines

[@shristydahal03]

Thanks a lot sir! I have no knowledge of coG ...but you teach so well ... actually I am doing assignments on this topic ...it will help me a lot

[@zakirhussain-js9ku]

Mass & energy move from higher energy density to lower energy density region due to force field induced by difference in energy density. This field is directed towards lower energy density region. Therefore center of mass must be a place of minimum energy density density. In case of single mass, center of mass is located inside the mass while for gravitationally bound masses it could lie outside the mass. By same token center of all particles must also be place of minimum energy density to holds particle together.

Superb!

[@EricPham-gr8pg]

So if we design a good flash light can lift even ca car and throw it by entangle with center gravity of the car

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Thanks. Glad you liked the video.

[@Fffffffffffffffgggg]

Thanks

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Welcome

[@eddygci8]

This guy should be the standard by which students pass their tests for engineering

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Thank you for your supporting words.

[@rockyjoe3817]

Amazing

[@ZambianBigSean23]

Wow thank you very much sir, what book can I use along with these videos?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

We reference multiple sources. I used a very old text from when I went to college a LONG time ago.

[@yogeshranamagar6249]

i really appreciate ur work sir. it would be very grateful if u upload rest of the 15 videos

[@MichelvanBiezen]

+Yogesh Rana
They are in work.

[@beerappah8280]

Hi Michel,
Could you plz upload all the videos of centroid lecuture series ..it would be great help...

[@ZoharEdelkind]

The equation xw = x1w1 + x2w2 + x3w3... feels right, and I know it is, but I'm having trouble proving it. Since that's the basis for the "centroid = ..." equation, is there any way that you could point me in the right direction for a proof of that?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

You can prove it by using integration. If you solve for the centroid using integration you may see the connection.

[@ZoharEdelkind]

Well, the problem with that is that the integration technique is an extension of the summation equation, so proving the summation equation via integration seems like circular logic. I suppose what I'm looking for is perhaps a bit more basic then my question sounded at first. I'm looking for a way to prove the centroid summation equation assuming that you don't need to move to the integration step - or better yet, assuming that you can't move to the integration step. IE, assume that you have blocks of known volume that make up the whole volume. How would I then prove that xw = x1w1 + x2w2 + x3w3 etc?

[@khaleda3346]

How can I connect with you professor?. Your videos are great.

[@MichelvanBiezen]

You can send a message like this, or you can send me a private message on youtube.

[@canyurtcu2014]

I love you

[@FavourIkemefuna]

🔥💯🔥💯💯💯💯

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Glad you liked it.

[@stephenbrowne1250]

Please, can do a number of videos on concrete structures such as concrete beams, columns, slabs, and foundations. Surely, you could simplify things.
Thank you,

[@VibudaJayathilake]

learning in 2021! (5/1/2021)

[@ahmed-bot1605]

Please translate your vedios to arabic sir.

[@Luka_c123]

love the bow tie

[@MichelvanBiezen]

thank you. 🙂
