Question

Moment of Inertia is the integration of the square of the distance of the centroid and the del area along the whole area of the structure.

(a) True

(b) False

I had been asked this question in unit test.

This question is from Moment of Inertia for Areas topic in division Moments of Inertia of Engineering Mechanics

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) True

For explanation I would say: The moment of inertia of the section is the integration of the square of the distance of the centroid and the del area along the whole area of the structure. This is having much significance in the various fields in the engineering sector. The main types are the ‘I’ section structures which are being much used.
