Mass, and the expressions for the Mass Moments

of Inertia for homogeneous:
(i)
Bar (with respect to axis to bar at
midpoint and endpoint)
(ii)
Rectangular Lamina (with respect to in
plane center line to edge, edge, axis at
center of mass)
(iii) Circular Lamina (with respect to axis to
lamina at center, and at point on periphery)
(iv) Semicircular Lamina (with respect to axis
to lamina at center and at center of mass)

Note: Assignments are to be kept in a binder for review and study.

CEAB graduate attributes to be taught in ENGR 243:
A knowledge base for engineering, i.e. demonstrated competence in university level mathematics, natural sciences,
engineering fundamentals, and specialized engineering knowledge appropriate to the program.
Problem analysis, i.e. an ability to use appropriate knowledge and skills to identify, formulate, analyze and solve
complex engineering problems in order to reach substantiated conclusions.
These attributes will be taught in the lectures by solving several sample problems and in the tutorials via specified
problems; they will be practiced when students solve their assigned problems; and they will be evaluated in the
term tests and the final exam of the course.

Inform yourself about plagiarism and avoid it. Plagiarism in your submissions will be severely dealt with.
Plagiarism is: "The presentation of the work of another person as one's own or without proper acknowledgment".
The term Plagiarism comes from the Latin for kidnapper (plagiarius).
The "work of another person" can mean:

An entire work by an author.

Ideas taken from a source.

Exact words taken from a source--from just a few words to entire passages.

The organization or structure of a sources explanation or argument.

Information that is not common knowledge taken from a source.

You may never submit an entire work written by someone else.
If you use any of the other items listed above, you must include proper acknowledgement.
What is "proper acknowledgement?"

When you use ideas or facts taken from a source, you must include a citation.

When you take the structure or organization of an argument from a source, you must give credit to and cite
the source for the argument.

When you use a sources exact words, you must include BOTH quotation marks around the entire quoted
portion AND a citation.
Key points:

Its still plagiarism even if you didnt realize you were plagiarizing, or didnt mean to plagiarize. "I thought it
was OK," and "I didnt mean to" are not acceptable excuses.

Even if you've done it before and not gotten in trouble, it's still plagiarism. Ive always done it this way and
it was OK before, is not an acceptable excuse.
