Definitions and meanings of "Centroid"

What do we mean by centroid?

The point in a system of masses each of whose coordinates is a weighted mean of coordinates of the same dimension of points within the system, the weights being determined by the density function of the system. noun

In mathematics, the center of mass. See center. noun

In kinematics, same as centrode. Reauleaux. noun

A point of emphasis or increased energy in a series of speech-sounds, or in any series of impulses. Also used attributively. noun

The center of mass, inertia, or gravity of a body or system of bodies. noun

The point at the centre of any shape, sometimes called centre of area or centre of volume. For a triangle, the centroid is the point at which the medians intersect. The co-ordinates of the centroid are the average (arithmetic mean) of the co-ordinates of all the points of the shape. For a shape of uniform density, the centroid coincides with the centre of mass which is also the centre of gravity in a uniform gravitational field. noun
