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 and after these calculations, we multiply the moment of areas.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in an international level competition.

Question is from Product of Inertia for an Area in section Moments of Inertia of Engineering Mechanics

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) True

Explanation: 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.
