This calculus video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the center of mass of a system also known as the centroid. It explains how to find the x and y coordinates of the centroid of a planar lamina which is a 2d region. The center of mass occurs where an object or a region can be balanced by a pencil if gravity is the only force acting on it. This video contains plenty of examples and practice problems. Here is a list of topics: 1. Center of mass for a one-dimensional system 2. Seesaw example 3. Finding the center of mass for a two-dimensional system 4. Center of mass of a planar lamina 5. Moment about the origin 6. Moment about the x-axis 7. Moment about the y-axis 8.
