Question: PROBLEM 1 : ( 1 0 pts ) An artist wants to create an outdoor art installation with the shape shown from 7 - gauge

PROBLEM 1: (10 pts)
An artist wants to create an outdoor art installation with the shape shown
from 7-gauge galvanized steel sheet. To design an appropriate support
structure, the center of gravity and moments of inertia with respect to
specified axes must be found. Since the object has a uniform thickness
and a constant density, it is only necessary to locate the centroid and to
determine the area moments of inertia with respect to the axes.
Calculate the following values for the area:
Horizontal location of the centroid x
Vertical location of the centroid ?bar(y)
Area moment of inertia about a horizontal axis passing through the
point x=1m,y=3m.
Area moment of inertia about a vertical axis passing through the
point x=1m,y=3m.
Polar moment of inertia about the perpendicular axis passing through the
point x=1m,y=3m.
