Mass moment of inertia
Problem statement
Determine the moment of inertia of the center crank about the x axis. The material is steel with a specific weight of γst = 490 lb/ft³.
Figure data: 1 in × 0.5 in × 6 in plates with 0.5 in diameter, 1 in long shafts; 4 in between shafts.
Concepts: crank, crankshaft, rigid body, parallel-axis theorem, specific weight of steel
