The document is an assignment asking students to:
1) Define the meaning of x̅ and y̅ which represent the coordinates of the centroid C of a shaded area.
2) Use integration to calculate the centroid of the shaded area shown in Figure 1, using the given values for a and b.
3) State that the moment of inertia of area is also known as the second moment of area.
4) Calculate the moment of inertia Ix of the area about the x-axis, stating the units.
5) Use the parallel-axis theorem to find the moment of inertia about a line through the centroid C parallel to the x-axis.
