Hi,

Aaron Keesing has left the following comment at Implement a primitive centroid function ... for elliptical hyperboloids (EHY) http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7975237:


Finding Centroid


I believe I may have found a general formula for finding the centroid of the hyperboloid, if it is oriented nicely and I can work out the equation. I couldn't find any specific formula for a hyperboloid's centroid on the internet, so I am trying to use some general formulas for finding the centroid of any shapes, then using the equation of the cross-sectional hyperbola to find its centroid, and taking advantage of the hyperboloid's symmetry.

Could you please indicate whether I am on the right track or if I am getting way off with this method, or am I missing something completely obvious?

I may need an extenstion on this task as I am also doing holiday work for school and am only able to work on this in the evenings, but I'll see how I get on.

Thanks

Aaron K
