Area Moment of Inertia of a Filled Triangle about a Centroidal Axis

The second moment of area, also known as moment of inertia of plane area, area moment of inertia or second area moment, is a geometrical property of an area that reflects how its points are distributed with regard to an arbitrary axis.

The second moment of area for a filled triangle equals the product of the base and height to the third power divided by 36.

Formula

QuantityVariable["J", "SecondMomentOfArea"] == (QuantityVariable["B", "Length"]*QuantityVariable["H", "Height"]^3)/36

symbol description physical quantity
J second moment of area "SecondMomentOfArea"
B base "Length"
H height "Height"
