1. Determine the moment of inertia and the radius of gyration of the shaded area.

(a) (b)

2. Determine the polar moment of inertia of the area shown with respect to (a) Point O, (b) the centroid of
the area.

(a) (b)
3. Determine the moments of inertia and the product of inertia of the area with respect to new centroidal
axes obtained by rotating the x and y axes 45clockwise.
4. For the area indicated, determine the orientation of the principal axes at the origin and the corresponding
values of the moments of inertia.

5. The aluminum shade for the small high-intensity lamp shown has a uniform thickness of 1 mm.
Knowing that the density of aluminum is 2800 kg/m3, determine the mass of the shade.

6. Determine the volume and the surface area of the chain link shown, which is made from a 6-mm-
diameter bar, if R 10 mm and L 30 mm.

7. Determine the vertical force P that must be applied at G to maintain the equilibrium of the linkage.

8. Determine the force P required to maintain the equilibrium of the linkage shown. All members are of the
same length and the wheels at A and B roll freely on the horizontal rod.
9. Derive an expression for the magnitude of the couple M required to maintain the equilibrium of the
linkage shown.

10. A couple M of magnitude 100 Nm is applied as shown to the crank of the engine system. Knowing
that AB 50 mm and BC 200 mm, determine the force P required to maintain the equilibrium of the
system when (a) 60, (b) 120.

11. A slender rod AB, of weight W, is attached to two blocks A and B that can move freely in the guides
shown. Knowing that the spring is unstretched when y 0, determine the value of y corresponding to
equilibrium when W 80 N, l 500 mm, and k 600 N/m.
