Question 1:
A curve of polynomial of 2nd order (y=ax2+bx+c) is as shown in figure below. Using the three
ordinates y0, y1 and y2, derive the expression to find the area between y0 and y1 which can be
represented by:

h
(5 y 0 + 8 y1 y 2 ) where h is the common interval between the ordinates. Complete
12
derivation is to be shown.
Area:

y0

y1

y2

Question 2:
Refer to the figure below:

y=kx2

a
Derive an expression to find the area under the curve bounded within x=a and y=b where the
expression of the curve is shown where k is a constant. Determine the centroid location and
moment of inertia about an axis passing through the centroid parallel to x-axis.

Question 3:
The fully loaded water plane of a super tanker has the following half ordinates spaced 25 m
apart: 0, 7.75, 14.12, 21.36, 24.29, 25.22, 20.15, 14.67, 5.28 and 3.19 m respectively. Calculate
the water plane area and water-plane coefficient, centroid from Stn 0 and moment of inertia
about stn 0.
