Problem 10.75
A throwing toy is molded of uniform foam. It consists of an oblong-shaped
portion, a cylindrical portion, and four rectangular fins. The density of the
oblong and cylindrical shapes is
100 kg=m3
, and each of the fins have
1:8
103kg mass.
(a)
Fully set up the integral, including limits of integration, that will yield the
mass moment of inertia about the xaxis for the oblong-shaped portion.
(b)
Evaluate the integral obtained in Part (a) using computer software such
as Mathematica, Maple, etc.
(c)
You should find the result of Part (b) to be
79:8 kgmm2
. Using this value,
determine the total mass moment of inertia about the xaxis for the toy.
