Example 6.6.6
Find the moments of inertial Ix and Iy, the total mass m, and the radii of gyration Rx and Ry of the lamina that
has the shape of the cardioid r=1+cosθ, and that has density ρ=1+2 x2+3 y2/10.
See Example 6.5.6.
Solution
Mathematical Solution
The relevant calculations (done in polar coordinates) are in Table 6.6.6(a).
m=∫02 π∫01+cosθr⋅ρ ⅆr ⅆθ = 209320⁢π
