Integral Calculus


Integral calculus plays a vital role in the formulation and solution of engineering problems. To
demonstrate the role of integrals, consider the following examples.

Example 18.13 Recall in Chapter 7, we discussed a property of an area known as the second moment of area.
The second moment of area, also known as the area moment of inertia, is an important prop-
erty of an area that provides information on how hard it is to bend something and therefore plays
