Step 1
First, we need to determine the centroid of the object. The centroid is the geometric center of the object. It is the point at which the object would balance if it were possible to suspend it from that point. Show more…

Determine the moments of inertia $I_{u}, I_{v}$ and the product of inertia $I_{u v}$ for the rectangular area. The $u$ and $v$ axes pass through the centroid $C$.
Determine the distance $\bar{y}$ to the centroid of the area and then calculate the moments of inertia $I_{u}$ and $I_{v}$ of the channel's cross-sectional area. The $u$ and $v$ axes have their origin at the centroid $C .$ For the calculation, assume all corners to be square.
