Question
Determine the moment of inertia for the shaded area about the $y$ axis.
Step 1
We consider a differential element of thickness dx at a position x from the y-axis. The center of mass of this element will be at a distance x from the y-axis. The area of this differential element, dA, is given by y dx. Show more…
