Moment of Inertia of a Rectangle

Click and drag the blue dots in the corner of the rectangle to change its shape and size. Definitions: The moment of inertia of the area about its centroidal x-axis, x’ The moment of inertia of the area about its centroidal y-axis, y’ The moment of inertia of the area about the x-axis The moment of inertia of the area about the y-axis

Fundamentally, the moment of inertia of a given area about a given axis tells you...
