Chapter 6: Applications of Double Integration
Section 6.6: Second Moments
Example 6.6.8
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 an isosceles right triangle with legs of length 1, and has density that is twice the square of the distance from the vertex of the right angle. Hint: Put the right angle at the origin. See Example 6.5.8.
Solution
Mathematical Solution
The relevant calculations are in Table 6.5.8(a).
m=∫01∫01−xρ ⅆy ⅆx = 1/3
Ix=∫01∫01−xy2⋅ρ ⅆy ⅆx = 7/90
Iy=∫01∫01−xx2⋅ρ ⅆy ⅆx = 7/90
Rx=Iy/m=7/901/3 = 21030 ≐ 0.48
Ry=Ix/m=7/901/3 = 21030 ≐ 0.48
