AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the moment of inertia (MI) for rectangular and triangular lamina, specifically seeking links and formulas for these calculations. The formula I = ∫ r² dm is highlighted, focusing on two-dimensional area density for lamina. A user inquires about the limits of integration when deriving the MI for a rectangular lamina with specified dimensions. Additionally, there is confusion regarding the concept of moment of inertia about a point, as it is noted that such a definition is problematic in one dimension. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity in understanding how MI is defined across different dimensions.

Welcome to PF.

Just use the formula:

I = ∫ r2 dm

Taken over all the mass elements.

Since you are interested in lamina then you're only interested in two dimensional area density.
 
thank you so much for your help..
while deriving the formula for rectangular lamina,of sides 2a and 2b(i.e.,length 2a and breadth 2b),when i consider a thin horizontal strip parallel to x-axis at distance y from x-axis and infinitesimally small thickness dy,
after using the formula you have given..what limits of the integral should i take??please help..
one last thing i need to know is that in the link which you have sent,under extended explanation someone's written
WARNING: there is no such thing as moment of inertia about a point
and then the definition of moment of inertia about a point is mentioned...if there's no such thing as moment of inertia about a point then how do we define MI in 1 dimension??
like MI in 2-d is about a line and MI in 3-d is about coordinate axis..then in 1-d is it not supposed to be about a point??
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
