Explanation Given: The width of the triangular area is 9 in . The height of the triangular area is 6 in . Show the free body diagram of the triangular area as in Figure 1. From the Figure 1, Compute the moment of inertia of the triangular area about the x axes using the parallel-axis theorem. I x = I ¯ x ′ + A d y 2 = 1 36 b a 3 + [ 1 2 b a ] [ 1 3 a ] 2 (I) Here, the moment of inertia for the beam’s cross-sectional area about the x axis is I x , the first integral of the moment of inertia of the area about the centroidal axis in x direction is I ¯ x ′ , half of the distance from the centroid is d y , and an area is A . Compute the moment of inertia of the triangular area about the y axes using the parallel-axis theorem. I y = I ¯ y ′ + A d x 2 = 1 36 a b 3 + [ 1 2 a b ] [ 2 3 b ] 2 (II) Here, the moment of inertia for the beam’s cross-sectional area about the y axis is I y , half of the distance from the centroid is d x , and first integral of the moment of inertia of the area about the centroidal axis in y direction is I ¯ y ′ . Calculate the moment of inertia of the triangular area about the x and y axes. I x y = b 2 a 2 8 (III) Calculate the maximum and minimum principal of moments. I max / min = I x + I y 2 ± [ ( I x − I y ) / 2 ] 2 + ( I x y ) 2 (IV) Compute the orientation of the principal axes. tan 2 θ p 2 = − 2 I x y I x − I y (V) Compute the orientation of the principal axes. θ p 1 = θ p 2 − 90 ° (VI) Conclusion: Substitute 6 in . for a and 9 in . for b in Equation (I). I x = 1 36 ( 9 ) ( 6 ) 3 + [ 1 2 ( 9 ) ( 6 ) ] [ 1 3 ( 6 ) ] 2 = 54 + 108 = 162 in . 4 Substitute 6 in . for a and 9 in . for b in Equation (II). I y = 1 36 ( 6 ) ( 9 ) 3 + [ 1 2 ( 6 ) ( 9 ) ] [ 2 3 ( 9 ) ] 2 = 121

Moment of Inertia

Inertia can be termed as a resistance offered by a body to change its state. A rigid body initially at rest will apply resistance when acted by an external force that tends to change its state of rest or velocity, or a body initially at motion will provi…

This is an old practice exam question.

Steam enters the high-pressure turbine of a steam power plant that operates on the ideal reheat Rankine cycle at 700 psia and 900°F and leaves as saturated vapor. Steam is then reheated to 800°F before it expands to a pressure of 1 psia. Heat is transferred to the steam in the boiler at a rate of 6 × 104 Btu/s. Steam is cooled in the condenser by the cooling water from a nearby river, which enters the condenser at 45°F. Use steam tables. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. Determine the pressure at which reheating takes place. Use steam tables. Find: The reheat pressure is psia.
