Problem 8.79 The area AD2ð104mm2. Its moment
of inertia about the yaxis is IyD3.2ð108mm4. Deter-

Solution: Use the parallel axis theorem. The moment of inertia
about the centroid of the figure is
The moment of inertia about the Oyaxis is
Problem 8.80 The area AD100 in2and it is
symmetric about the x0axis. The moments of inertia
Ix0D420 in4,Iy0D580 in4,JOD11000 in4, and Ixy D
4800 in4. What are Ixand Iy?

Solution: The basic relationships:
(2) IyDx2ACIyc,
(4) JODIxCIy,
(6) Ixy DAxy CIxyc,
where the subscript capplies to the primed axes, and the others to the
unprimed axes. The x,yvalues are the displacement of the primed
axes from the unprimed axes. The steps in the demonstration are:
(i) From symmetry about the xcaxis, the product of inertia Ixyc D0.
