Simpson’s 2ndrule:-
Also known as Simpson’s three-eight rule.
Area = (3/8)h [y0 + 3y1 + 3y2 + 2y3 + 3y4 + 3y5 + 2y6 +..…+ 2yn-3 + 3yn-2 + 3yn-1 + yn]
Moment about the very first ordinate = (h2/24)[ 3y1 + 10y2 – y3]
It is often found necessary to determine the centroid of a curved
plane such as a water plane and the second moment of area of a
water plane.

Area of strip = y × dx
Total area of plane = ∑ (y × dx)
= ∑ (y × dx)
The area of the plane may be found by putting the ordinates y
through Simpson's Rule.
= ∑(x y dx)
Now, it was mentioned earlier that Simpson's Rule may be used to
find the area under any continuous curve, no matter what the
ordinates represent. Such a curve may be drawn on a base equal to
BC, with ordinates of xy, and the area under this curve may be
found by putting the values of xy through Simpson's Rule.
Second moment of area of strip about AB = INA + Ax2
= {(y dx3)/12} + {y dx x2}
= {(y dx3)/12} + {y x2 dx}
This may be reduced to {y x2 dx} since dx is very small.

Fig. represents the starboard side of a ship’s waterplane area. To find the
area, the centreline is divided into a number of equal lengths (equally
spaced sections) say eight, each ‘h’ m apart. The length ‘h’ is called the
common interval.
The half breadths A, B, C, D, etc. are then measured at each station and
each of them is called a half-ordinate.
