AHK , that of the second by twice the See also:

area BKL, and so on. The quadratic moment of the whole See also:system is there-fore represented by twice the area AHEDCBA. Since a quadratic moment is essentially See also:positive, the various areas are to taken positive in all cases. If k be the See also:radius of gyration about p we find k2 =2 X area AHEDCBA X ON 4- aP, where a¢ is the See also:line in the force-See also:diagram which represents the sum of the masses, and ON is the distance of the See also:pole 0 from this line. If some of the particles See also:lie on one See also:side of p and some on the other, the quadratic moment of each set may be found, and the results added. This is illustrated in fig. 6o, where the See also:total quadratic '~miIIIII~~~ii~~~II~See also:IIII~IIIIpII~I P moment is represented by the sum of the shaded areas. It is seen that for a given direction of p this moment is least when p passes through the intersection X of the first and last sides of the funicular; i.e. when p goes through the See also:mass-centre of the given system; cf. See also:equation (15).
