Abstract
THE usual text-book formula for the radial distance of the centroid of a circular arc of radius r and length 2ra, may be converted into a useful result by expressing the position of the centroid in terms of its distance from the chord of the arc and as a fraction of the versine of the arc. Thus the usual form.
