1. Determine the area moment of Inertia of circular lamina of diameter D aboout
its centrodial axes x and y. Also determine the mass moment of inertia of
lamina if its total mass is M. Assume density to be constant.
2. Determine the area and mass moment of Inertia of a uniform rod of length L
and mass M about its centroidal axes. Radius of the rod may be assumed to be
r.
3. Determine the moments of inertia Ix and I y of the area shown with respect to
centroidal axes respectively parallel and perpendicular to side AB.

4. Using the parallel-axis theorem, determine the product of inertia of the area
shown with respect to the centroidal axes x and y.

5. Determine by direct integration the moment of inertia of the shaded areas

with respect to the y axis.
