Differential Element: The thin disk element shown shaded in Fig. a will be considered. The
volume of the element is dV = π z2 dy

Here, z = a − a 2 − y2 . Thus,

(
dV = π a − a 2 − y2 ) 2
(
dy = π 2a 2 − y2 − 2a a 2 − y2 dy )

Determine the moment of inertia of the composite area

about the x axis.

solution

Composite Parts: The composite area can be subdivided into three segments as shown in Fig. a. Since segment (3) is a hole, it
contributes a negative moment of inertia. The perpendicular distance measured from the centroid of each segment to the x axis
is also indicated.

Moment of Inertia: The moment of inertia of each segment about the x axis can be determined using the parallel – axis theorem.

Determine the moment of inertia of the composite area

about the y axis.

Solution

Composite Parts: The composite area can be subdivided into three segments as shown in Fig. a. Since segment (3) is a hole,
it contributes a negative moment of inertia. The perpendicular distance measured from the centroid of each segment to the
y axis is also indicated.

Moment of Inertia: The moment of inertia of each segment about the y axis can be determined using the parallel – axis
theorem. Thus,
