(35s) Moment of Inertia, n rectangular elements

[Johnh]

Hi Jazmond
Nice work. I can appreciate how useful that is. Im a structural engineer and teacher and its useful for the properties of irregular sections. I have some that do similar.

Here's an extended challenge: Can you Include the section modulus (Z) at the top and the bottom of the section?Then you have all the properties needed to work out stresses. To do that, you could keep track of the highest and the lowest points that exist as you process each rectangle. Don't need to store them all, just the max and min. Then you can subtract the centroid level and divide into Into I to get Z top and Z bottom.

cheers
John
