CENTROBARICO

, the same as centre of gravity.

Centrobaric-Method, is a method of determining the quantity of a sursace or solid, by means of the generating line or plane, and its centre of gravity. The doctrine is chiefly comprized in this theorem:

Every figure, whether supersicial or solid, generated by the motion of a line or plane, is equal to the product of the generating magnitude and the path of its centre of gravity, or the line which its centre of gravity describes.
