A rectangle has a base of 6 in. and a height of 12 in. Using the approximate method, determine the moment of inertia with respect to the base. (a) Divide the area into four equal horizontal strips. (b) Divide the area into six equal horizontal strips. For the area of Problem 8.5, calculate the exact moment of inertia and then calculate the percent error relative to the results obtained using the approximate method.

A rectangle has a base of 6 in. and a height of 12 in. Using
the approximate method, determine the moment of inertia
with respect to the base.
(a) Divide the area into four equal horizontal strips.
(b) Divide the area into six equal horizontal strips.
For the area of Problem 8.5, calculate the exact moment of
8.6
inertia and then calculate the percent error relative to the
results obtained using the approximate method.
