Ans: (a) bh’/3 (b) bh’/12. (2) Determine the moment of inertia of a triangle with respect to its base. Ans: bh?/12. (3) Determine the centroidal polar moment of inertia of a circular area by direct integration. Using this result, determine the moments of inertia of a circular area with respect to a diameter. Ans: Jp = ar'/2, [y= mr'/4. (4) Determine by direct integration the moment of inertia of the shaded area of Figure Q4 with respect to the y-axis. (VM9.1). Ans: ly = a°b/6. (5) Determine the moment of inertia of the shaded area of Figure Q5 with respect to each of the coordinate axes. Hence, determine the radius of gyration of the area with respect to each of the axes. (VME9.3). Ans: I, = ab'/21, ly = a°b/5, ky = bV(1/7), ky = av). (6) State and prove the theorem of parallel axis for the moment of inertia of an area, (1) Determine the moment of inertia of the shaded area of Figure Q7 with respect to the x-axis. Ans: 45.9 x 10° mm‘, (8) Determine by direct integration the product of inertia of the shaded area of Figure Q8 with respect to x and y axes. (VM9.67). Ans: a'/2. (9) For a given area, ly = 48 x 10° mm, Ixy = -20 x 10° mm! where x, y-axes are centroidal axes. If the axis corresponding to the maximum moment of inertia is obtained by rotating the x-axis 67.5° counterclockwise about the centroid C. Use Mohr’s circle to determine (a) I, of the area (b) the principal moments of inertia. (VM9.107). Ans: (a) 88 x 10° mm!
