Geometrical integral interpretation

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around a request for assistance in finding integrals related to statics for an exam, specifically referencing a Russian page that contains relevant information. One participant suggests that the formulas might relate to products of inertia, indicating that the table presented involves integrals of different distributions, such as triangular and trapezoidal. It is noted that these integrals could be useful for calculating area-moment diagrams without needing to perform point-by-point multiplication. The conversation highlights a lack of clarity regarding the specific integrals needed for the exam. Overall, the focus is on understanding the application and interpretation of the integrals in the context of statics.

Hi friends, i have i request for you. For my statics exam i need integrals and i found this page in russian, and can not find rest or even know how it's called because when i translate title i don't get any results. Can you please help me and tell me where can i find the rest. https://app.box.com/s/k9a15wb6bit4ezpp25r7

hi miloslavc! welcome to pf! :smile:

i don't recognise any of those results, but the formula might be a product of inertia (an off-diagonal component of a moment of inertia or moment of area tensor)
 
IDK about the integrals being products of inertia, but the table represents the value of the integral of the products of two different distributions. Across the top, you have a triangular and a trapezoidal distribution, Mi. Down the left hand side, you start with a trapezoidal, triangular, then a constant distribution, Mk. The values within the table are for the integral of the combined distribution Mi*Mk.

I'm not sure, but I think such a table would be used in calculating things like area-moment diagrams. Instead of finding the product of the two distributions using point-by-point multiplication and then integrating, the table gives the value of a particular combination expressed in terms of quantities of the component distributions.

When the OP says 'For my statics exam, I need integrals.', what the heck does that mean?
 
Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
