Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the formula for calculating the moment of inertia for a rectangular section?
  • Step 1: Identify the base (b) of the rectangular section. This is the width of the rectangle.
  • Step 2: Identify the height (h) of the rectangular section. This is how tall the rectangle is.
  • Step 3: Cube the height (h) by multiplying it by itself three times (h * h * h).
  • Step 4: Multiply the base (b) by the cubed height (h^3) from Step 3.
  • Step 5: Divide the result from Step 4 by 12. This gives you the moment of inertia (I).
