Let's break down the solution **step-by-step** for **cross-section (a)**. You can use the same method for the others.
---
## a) Centroid and Moment of Inertia
### **Step 1: Divide the Shape into Rectangles**
For (a), the cross-section is a **thin-walled square tube**.
- **Outer square:** \( b \times h = 15 \times 15 \)
- **Inner square (hole):** \( (15-2\times2) \times (15-2\times2) = 11 \times 11 \)
### **Step 2: Compute Areas**
- **Outer:** \( A_1 = 15 \times 15 = 225 \) mm²
- **Inner (hole, subtract):** \( A_2 = 11 \times 11 = 121 \) mm²
**Total Area:**
\[
A = A_1 - A_2 = 225 - 121 = 104 \text{ mm}^2
\]
### **Step 3: Find the Centroid**
Since both squares are concentric and the tube is symmetric about both axes, the centroid is at the geometric center.
\[
(x_{cg}, y_{cg}) = (15/2, 15/2) = (7.5, 7.5) \text{ mm}
\]
---
### **Step 4: Second Moment of Inertia (Iₓₓ, Iᵧᵧ, Iₓᵧ)**
For a rectangle about its centroid:
\[
I_{xx} = \frac{1}{12} b h^3
\]
\[
I_{yy} = \frac{1}{12} h b^3
\]
**For the full tube:**
\[
I_{xx,1} = \frac{1}{12}(15)(15^3) = \frac{1}{12} \times 15 \times 3375 = 4218.75 \text{ mm}^4
\]
\[
I_{xx,2} = \frac{1}{12}(11)(11^3) = \frac{1}{12} \times 11 \times 1331 = 1221.08 \text{ mm}^4
\]
Subtract the hole (since it's centered, no need for parallel axes):
\[
I_{xx} = I_{xx,1} - I_{xx,2} = 4218.75 - 1221.08 = 2997.67 \text{ mm}^4
\]
By symmetry, \( I_{yy} = I_{xx} \).
\[
I_{xy} = \; \text{(by symmetry about the centroidal axes)}
\]
---
### **Step 5: Fill in the Table for (a)**
| | Centroid Position (x, y) | \(I_{xx}\) (mm⁴) | \(I_{yy}\) (mm⁴) | \(I_{xy}\) (mm⁴) |
|------|-------------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
| a) | (7.5, 7.5) | 2997.7 | 2997.7 | |
---
## **Instructions to Solve the Rest**
1. **Break the cross-section into rectangles** (and semicircles, for c).
2. **Calculate each part's area, centroid, and moment of inertia** about its centroid.
3. **Use the parallel axis theorem** if the centroid of a part does not coincide with the centroid of the whole.
4. **Sum up using:**
\[
I_{xx,total} = \sum (I_{xx,part} + A_{part} \times d_y^2)
\]
where \(d_y\) is the distance from the part's centroid to the whole centroid along the y-axis (and similarly for \(I_{yy}\)).
5. **Fill the table.**
