1. Apply the parallel-axis theorem. Check Homework, if any
Consider an area with centroid C. The x' and y' axes pass through
C. The MoI about the x-axis, which is parallel to, and distance dy
from the x ' axis, is found by using the parallel-axis theorem.
IX = A y2 dA = A (y' + dy)2 dA
= A y' 2 dA + 2 dy A y' dA + dy2 A dA
Using the definition of the centroid:
y' = (A y' dA) / (A dA) . Now
since C is at the origin of the x' y' axes,
y' = 0 , and hence A y' dA = 0 .
Thus IX = IX' + A dy 2
Ix = 7.291108 mm4

GROUP PROBLEM SOLVING
Solution:
1. The given area can be obtained by subtracting the circle (b) and the
triangle (c) from the rectangle (a).
2. Information about the centroids of the simple shapes can be
obtained from the inside back cover of the textbook.
The perpendicular distances of the centroids from the x-axis are
da = 150 mm, db = 150 mm, and dc = 200 mm.
