Lesson: Center of Gravity of Laminas Mathematics

In this lesson, we will learn how to find the position of the center of gravity of a lamina composed of standard shapes in 2D.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

find the center of gravity of laminas that are rectangles, triangles, or other standard 2D shapes including semicircles,
find the center of gravity of laminas composed of standard 2D shapes,
find the center of gravity of a lamina with additional masses added,
solve applied problems related to center of gravity, for example, finding unknown angle measures given that the system is suspended from a vertex.
