Coordinates of the centroid in a 3D rectangle












0














I have a 3D rectangle and I have to find the 3D coordinates of its centroid. I tried to take 4 vertices, one let's say the origin $o$ and the three adjacent vertices $a, b, c$.



I computed the distances between the pairs "origin-vertex" using this $sqrt{(o_x - a_x)^2+(o_y - a_y)^2+(o_z - a_z)^2}$ to compute the length, this $sqrt{(o_x - b_x)^2+(o_y - b_y)^2+(o_z - b_z)^2}$ to compute the width and this $sqrt{(o_x - c_x)^2+(o_y - c_y)^2+(o_z - c_z)^2}$ to compute the height.



(I'm doing this because my coordinates are not coplanar, otherwise, I could consider just the $x$ coordinate for the length, ...)



Then I added the coordinates of the origin, respectively $o_x$ to the $frac{length}{2}$, $o_y$ to the $frac{width}{2}$ and $o_z$ to the $frac{height}{2}$.



But what I'm getting is this

So what's the problem with my solution?

    If it really is a rectangle, you can just add up all of the vertex coordinates and divide by four or find the intersection of the diagonals, as one might in two dimensions.

Let's say you know one vertex of the cuboid, $vec{o}$, and three adjacent vertices $vec{a}$, $vec{b}$, and $vec{c}$:
$$bbox{vec{o} = left[begin{matrix} o_x \ o_y \ o_z end{matrix}right]} ,quad
bbox{vec{a} = left[begin{matrix} a_x \ a_y \ a_z end{matrix}right]} ,quad
bbox{vec{b} = left[begin{matrix} b_x \ b_y \ b_z end{matrix}right]} ,quad
bbox{vec{c} = left[begin{matrix} c_x \ c_y \ c_z end{matrix}right]}$$
All edges of the cuboid (where two faces meet) match one of the vectors
$$bbox{vec{e}_a = vec{a} - vec{o}} , quad
bbox{vec{e}_b = vec{b} - vec{o}} , quad
bbox{vec{e}_c = vec{c} - vec{o}}$$
and the eight vertices of the cuboid are at
$$begin{array}{rll}
vec{v}_{000} =& vec{o} & = vec{o} \
vec{v}_{001} =& vec{o} + vec{e}_a & = vec{a} \
vec{v}_{010} =& vec{o} + vec{e}_b & = vec{b} \
vec{v}_{011} =& vec{o} + vec{e}_a + vec{e}_b & = vec{a} + vec{b} - vec{o} \
vec{v}_{100} =& vec{o} + vec{e}_c & = vec{c} \
vec{v}_{101} =& vec{o} + vec{e}_a + vec{e}_c & = vec{a} + vec{c} - vec{o} \
vec{v}_{110} =& vec{o} + vec{e}_b + vec{e}_c & = vec{b} + vec{c} - vec{o} \
vec{v}_{111} =& vec{o} + vec{e}_a + vec{e}_b + vec{e}_c & = vec{a} + vec{b} + vec{c} - 2 vec{o} \
end{array}$$
The centroid for a cuboid (or a parallelepiped; the three edges do not need to be perpendicular to each other) is the sum of the vertex coordinates, divided by eight. If you sum the above, you'll find out that the centroid is at $vec{p}$,
$$bbox{vec{p} = frac{1}{2}left( vec{a} + vec{b} + vec{c} - vec{o} right) = left[begin{matrix}
frac{a_x + b_x + c_x - o_x}{2} \
frac{a_y + b_y + c_y - o_y}{2} \
frac{a_z + b_z + c_z - o_z}{2} \
end{matrix}right]}$$

Ellipse (mathématiques)

Image
Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

Quarter-circle Tiles

Image
up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2 ...
