QUESTION:
Determine the moment of inertia for the shaded area about the y axis.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
Draw the free-body diagram showing the differential element of the shaded area as,
Write the equation of the shaded area as,
\(y = \frac{h}{{{b^3}}}{x^3} \)
Consider a rectangular differential element concerning the x-axis with a thickness dx and intersects the boundary at (x,y).
