PROBLEM 9.28
Determine the polar moment of inertia and the polar
radius of gyration of the isosceles triangle shown with respect to Point O.
SOLUTION
First the circular area is divided into an increasing number of identical circular sectors. The sectors can be
approximated by isosceles triangles. For a large number of sectors the approximate dimensions of one of
the isosceles triangles are as shown.
For an isosceles triangle (see Problem 9.28):
