Second Moment of Area of a Rectangle

 

Second Moment of Area of a Rectangle formulas

\( I_{x} \;=\;   2 \cdot A \cdot  \dfrac{  6 \cdot R^2 - a^2 }{ 24 }  \) 

\( I_{y} \;=\;   2 \cdot A \cdot  \dfrac{  6 \cdot R^2 - a^2 }{ 24 }  \)

Symbol English Metric
\( I \) = moment of inertia  \( in^4 \) \( mm^4 \) 
\( a \) = edge \( in \) \( mm \)
\( R \) = outside radius \( in \) \( mm \)
