Okay, and I think the Izz will stay the same as a regular cuboid, right? What about Ixx? And for z(x) I use r*(1-(x^2)/((c/2)^2)) right? And should it be dm instead of dA for mass moment of inertia?
Thanks for the reply. I have made a simple 2D sketch for you. The y-axis is coming out of the page. Technically it is more like a flat plate than a cuboid but I would like to find the xx yy zz components of inertia if possible.
Hi Physics Forums!
Moment of inertia question for you:
I have a cuboid, like the first one in this link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_moments_of_inertia
only it is curved around the y (w in pic) axis such that the x (h in pic) axis touches the top and bottom ends of the cuboid...
