Problem Set 3 - ES 11

1. For the area bounded by the two

curves, determine by direct
integration the following:
a. Area
b. First Moment with respect to
the the x and y-axis
c. Coordinates of the centroid
d. Moment of Inertia with
respect to the the y axis

(Answers: A = 10.67 cm2, Qy = 10.67 cm3, Qx = 12.8 cm3,

x = 1.0 cm , y = 1.2 cm , I y = 19.2 cm4 )

2. A 6 mm thick homogeneous plate is

suspended by means of two cables B
and C. The plate is made of aluminum
whose density is 2800 kg/m3.
Determine the:

a. Area, A
b. First moment about the x-axis, Qx
c. First moment about the y-axis, Qy

d. Centroid, x , y
e. Moment of Inertia with respect to the y-axis, Iy
f. The tension in the two cables

(Ans: A = 10.43 m2, Qx = 18.75 m3, Qy = 27.73 m3, Iy = 81.14 m4, x́=2.66 m , ý=1.8 m, TC =
949.58 N, TB = 769.49 N)

 3. Grue created a giant plate with the following cross section using a nanoFerric-
Kryptonite-Amorphous Plumbic (nFKAP) material of density 0.02 g/cm 3. He is to
mount the plate on top of a 10m-high cone-shaped reactor located in Siayan Island.
However, during the installation of the plate, an energetic 700-N minion was stuck
on top of the plate at coordinates (0, -3). If the giant plate is 50-mm thick, determine
the coordinate to where the plate must be supported by the tip of the cone to avoid
the collapse of the plate, and thus, saving the life of the unfortunate minion. Use g =
9.81 m/s2.
(Answer: x = 0.3313 m, y = -1.1892 m)

4. Determine the coordinates of the centroid of the shaded area shown. Also,
determine the volume of metal that should be melted in order to cast the plate
when the shaded figure is revolved about the y – axis. Compute for the surface area
of the plate to estimate the amount of coating material required to prevent
corrosion.

kx = 43.56 mm, ky = 18.23 mm, ko = 47.22 mm, V = 839,487.1532 mm 3 )

6. For the shaded region, determine:

a. The moments if inertia about x- and y- and polar (o) axes
(Answer: Ix = 8.2991 x 106 mm4, Iy = 3.3322 x 106 mm4 , Io = 11.6313 x 106 mm4 )
