Verify the moments of inertia for the solid of uniform density. Use a graphing utility to evaluate the triple integrals.

Ix=112m(3a2+L2)Iy=12ma2Iz=112m(3a2+L2)\begin{aligned} & I_x=\frac{1}{12} m\left(3 a^2+L^2\right) \\ & I_y=\frac{1}{2} m a^2 \\ & I_z=\frac{1}{12} m\left(3 a^2+L^2\right) \end{aligned}

First we will set up the integral for the mass of the solid. It is assumed that the solid has uniform mass density, i.e., ρ=1\rho=1.

From the picture we can see that the limits for integration are the following:

axa-a\leq x \leq a

L2yL2-\frac{L}{2}\leq y\leq \frac{L}{2}

x2+z2=az=±a2x2x^2+z^2=a\Rightarrow z=\pm \sqrt{a^2-x^2}

a2x2za2x2-\sqrt{a^2-x^2}\leq z\leq \sqrt{a^2-x^2}

Now:

m=Qρ(x,y,z) dV=aaL/2L/2a2x2a2x2dz dy dx\begin{align*} m&=\int \kern -5pt \int \kern -5pt \int _{Q} \rho(x,y,z) \ dV=\int_{-a}^{a} \kern -3pt \int_{-L/2}^{L/2} \kern -3pt \int_{-\sqrt{a^2-x^2}}^{\sqrt{a^2-x^2}} dz\ dy\ dx \end{align*}

Using computer algebra system to evaluate the triple integral above we obtain:

m=Lπa2\color{#4257b2}m=L\pi a^2
