a) 1500 mm4
b) 1650 mm4
c) 1666 mm4
d) 1782 mm4
View Answer
Explanation: The moment of inertia of a rectangular section about an horizontal axis passing through base = bd3/3
= 5x10x10x10/3
= 1666.66 mm4.
8. What will be the moment of inertia of the given rectangular section about an horizontal axis through C.G.?
a) 350 mm4
b) 379mm4
c) 416mm4
d) 500mm4
View Answer
Explanation: The moment of inertia of a rectangular section about an horizontal axis through C.G = bd3/12
= 5x10x10x10/12
= 416.67 mm4.
9. What will be the moment of inertia of the given triangle about the base?
a) 20.33 mm4
b) 21.33 mm4
c) 24.33 mm4
d) 22.33 mm4
View Answer
Explanation: The moment of inertia of a triangular section about the base = bh3/12.
= 4x4x4x4/12
= 21.33 mm4.
10. What will be the moment of inertia of the given triangle about an axis passing through C.G and parallel to base?
a) 6.1 mm4
b) 7.1 mm4
c) 8.1 mm4
d) 7.56 mm4
View Answer
Explanation: The moment of inertia of a triangular section about an axis passing through C.G. and parallel to the base = bh3/36.
= 4x4x4x4/36
= 7.11 mm4.
11. What will be the difference between MOI of two triangle sections is in 1st, MOI is taken about its base and in 2nd MOI is taken about its centroid?
a) bh3/12
b) bh3/18
c) bh3/36
d) bh3/24
View Answer
Explanation: The moment of inertia of a triangular section about the base is bh3/12
The moment of inertia of a triangular section about an axis passing through C.G. is bh3/36
So the difference = bh3/12 – bh3/36 = bh3/18.
