Assignment 3

1) The document contains 4 problems involving calculating moments of inertia for different shaped areas. 2) Problem 2 asks to determine the moments of inertia Ix and Iy of an area shown in Figure 2 with respect to centroidal axes parallel and perpendicular to side AB. 3) The solution locates the centroid C of the area, then calculates Ix and Iy by dividing the area into two parts and using formulas for the moment of inertia of each part.

Determine the moments of inertia I x and I y of the area shown with respect to
centroidal axes respectively parallel and perpendicular to side AB.

SOLUTION
First locate C of the area.
Symmetry implies X = 18 mm.

A, mm 2 y , mm yA, mm3

1 31,752
2 × 36 × 42 = 756 42
2 Dimensions in mm

Σ 1764 45,864

Then Y Σ A = Σ yA : Y (1764 mm 2 ) = 45,864 mm3

or Y = 26.0 mm

Now I x = ( I x )1 + ( I x ) 2

where ( I x )1 = (36 mm)(28 mm)3 + (1008 mm 2 )[(26 − 14) mm]2

= (65,856 + 145,152) mm 4 = 211.008 × 103 mm 4

( I x )2 = (36 mm)(42 mm)3 + (756 mm 2 )[(42 − 26) mm]2
36
= (74,088 + 193,536) mm 4 = 267.624 × 103 mm 4

Then I x = (211.008 + 267.624) × 103 mm 4

or I x = 479 × 103 mm 4 

Also I y = ( I y )1 + ( I y ) 2

where ( I y )1 = (28 mm)(36 mm)3 = 108.864 × 103 mm 4

[( I y )2 is obtained by dividing A2 into ]

Then I y = (108.864 + 40.824 × 103 mm 4 or I y = 149.7 × 103 mm 4 


Determine by direct integration the moment of inertia of the shaded area with
