Centroid Example Problem: Upside Down T-Shaped Object

The video tutorial explains how to solve centroid problems using a step-by-step approach. It begins with breaking down a shape into smaller parts, calculating the area of each part, finding local centroids, converting coordinates, and finally plugging values into a table to find the centroid. The example used is a symmetric shape in the X direction, simplifying the process. The tutorial concludes with calculating the centroid coordinates and verifying the results.
