What is the center of gravity for different shapes in blanking calculations?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the center of gravity for specific shapes, particularly an arc and the periphery of a triangle, for use in blanking calculations. The center of gravity for these shapes can be evaluated using integral calculus, which is widely available in textbooks and online resources. For the triangle, the process involves calculating the center of gravity for each side and then finding a weighted average based on mass. This information is crucial for calculating the blank diameter and the center of pressure during the blanking process. Understanding these calculations is essential for accurate design and manufacturing in engineering applications.

what is the centre of gravity of an arc(as opposed to sector) and that of the periphery of triangle(not the area of the triangle)? I'm supposed to use it for calculating blank diameter before drawing and for calculating centre of pressure during blanking.

You can evaluate those shapes with the usual integral for the center of gravity (should be easy to find in any textbook, wikipedia or other web pages). For the triangle, it is easier: Calculate the position for each side, and calculate the weighted average (with mass as weight) of them afterwards.
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
