gular door 2.0m high by 1.5m wide about a
vertical axis through its hinge.
[0.866m] - A circular door of a boiler is hinged so that
it turns about a tangent. If its diameter is
1.0m, determine its second moment of area
and radius of gyration about the hinge.
[0.245m^4 , 0.559m] - A circular cover, centre 0, has a radius of
12.0cm. A hole of radius 4.0cm and centreX,
whereOX= 6 .0cm, is cut in thecover. Deter-
mine the second moment of area and the radius
of gyration of the remainder about a diameter
through 0 perpendicular toOX.
