SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the formulas for calculating the moment of mass using vertical and horizontal strips. The key formulas presented include M(y-axis) = ∫abxρ[f(x) - g(x)] dx and M(x-axis) = (1/2)ρ∫ab[f(x) + g(x)][f(x) - g(x)]dx for vertical strips, and M(y-axis) = (1/2)ρ∫ab[f(y) + g(y)][f(y) - g(y)]dy and M(x-axis) = ∫abxρ[f(y) - g(y)]dy for horizontal strips. Additionally, users reported technical issues with the forum, including errors related to the file cache system and problems with LaTeX code rendering.
