- Doubt conceptual about the inertia moment of a thin square
- Relevant Equations
- I = int dm r square
Inertia moment of a thin square side 2b about the center of mass...
I put the coordinates in the center of the square and came to:
Integral of (x²+y²)dm
=
Integral of (x²+y²)*(dxdy)M
But, the interval of the integral is [0,b] to x and y
And, since this consider just the integral of one quadrant, multiple by 4 to the total square
I get 8mb²/3 , which is four times more than the answer, 2mb²/3.
Where did i wrong?
