Calculate ly about the centroid of the following shape. (It should look familiar). Recall that xpar =
2.11 ft. Remember you want to calculate I of each shape about its centroid, then use the parallel
axis theorem to relate it to the global centroid. Hint: break into 4 pieces: half circle, square, triangle
and open circle. Remember you want to subtract the empty circle! Use Ix'= 0.11r4 for the half-
circle. Then just figure out each distance from the centroid of the component to the global centroid
and that is your D in the AD? term. Good luck!
