A particular area has centroidal P-Q axes. For this area and origin the moment of inertia about the P axis is 682.667 in4, the moment of inertia about the Q axis is 18.667 in4, and the product of inertia about P and Q is -64 in4. Determine the minor principal moment of inertia for the same area and origin.

With nothing previously solved for, what single equation would allow for a direct determination of one unknown support reaction?  Surface B is smooth and the collar at A is fixed to rod AB and free to slide over the fixed inclined rod.

What is the magnitude of the reaction at rocker A if F = 600 N and q  = 30°? (Neglect the thickness of the beam.)

When integrating to calculate centroids with respect to an area, the x-coordinate of the centroid of an incremental amount of area is always expressed as x.

Which of the following position vectors could be used to calculate the moment of F about the line OB when using the triple scalar product? 

If L = 3.02 m, determine the x-coordinate of the centroid of the shaded area shown here.

All vectors in Cartesian coordinates have a magnitude of 1.

Carter was injured by a defective ladder in State A, where Carter resides. The ladder was manufactured by Ladderville in State B, where its corporate headquarters are also located and where it is incorporated. Carter sued Ladderville for products liability in Federal District Court of State B.Is venue proper in the Federal District Court of State B?

If A ≤m B and [1] is decidable, then [2] is decidable.

For this problem, resolve force BC into components at C and use the right-hand rule for sign convention on an FBD of member AB. The x component of force BC at C would then create a __________ moment with a moment arm of _____ about the z axis.
