Area Moment of Inertia of a Quarter Disk about a Centroidal Axis

The second moment of area, also known as moment of inertia of a 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 quarter disk equals the radius to the fourth power multiplied by a constant.

Formula

QuantityVariable["J", "SecondMomentOfArea"] == (-4/(9*Pi) + Pi/16)*QuantityVariable["R", "Radius"]^4

symbol description physical quantity
J second moment of area "SecondMomentOfArea"
R radius "Radius"
