Introduction
The earth exerts a gravitational force on each of the particles
forming a body. These forces can be replace by a single
equivalent force equal to the weight of the body and applied
at the center of gravity for the body.
The centroid of an area is analogous to the center of
gravity of a body. The concept of the first moment of an
area is used to locate the centroid.
Determination of the area of a surface of revolution and
the volume of a body of revolution are accomplished
with the Theorems of Pappus-Guldinus.

First Moments of Areas and Lines
An area is symmetric with respect to an axis BB
if for every point P there exists a point P such
that PP is perpendicular to BB and is divided
into two equal parts by BB.
The first moment of an area with respect to a
line of symmetry is zero.
If an area possesses a line of symmetry, its
centroid lies on that axis
If an area possesses two lines of symmetry, its
centroid lies at their intersection.
An area is symmetric with respect to a center O
if for every element dA at (x,y) there exists an
area dA of equal area at (-x,-y).
The centroid of the area coincides with the
center of symmetry.
