If you're trying to calculate the second moment of area about the x-axis, no, your calculations are not correct.werson tan said:
Ixx = 50(1^3) / 12 + 50 ((25-25)^2) this is the correct one??SteamKing said:
Like your original calculations, that expression doesn't make sensewerson tan said:
The formula for finding the second moment of inertia about the x axis is Ix = ∫(y^2 + z^2)dA, where y and z represent the perpendicular distances from the element of area to the x axis, and dA represents the differential area element.
The second moment of inertia about the x axis is used in engineering to determine the resistance to bending of a structural element, such as a beam or column. It is also used in calculating the deflection of a structure under load.
The second moment of inertia about the x axis is a measure of an object's distribution of mass around the x axis. It indicates how resistant an object is to changes in its rotational motion about the x axis.
The second moment of inertia about the x axis can be calculated for a complex shape by dividing the shape into smaller, simpler shapes and using the parallel axis theorem to sum up the individual moments of inertia. This can then be integrated to find the total second moment of inertia.
No, the second moment of inertia about the x axis cannot be negative. It is always a positive value since it represents the distribution of mass around the x axis.
