A solid rectangular beam with a width of 0.3m, height of 0.2m, and mass of 50kg is loaded with a uniform mass on top. Calculate its moment of inertia about its base.
💡 Hint: Use the specific formula for rectangles.
Compare two cylindrical tanks - one with a height of 1.5m and radius of 0.75m, and the other with height 2.0m and radius 0.5m. Analyze their moment of inertia around their respective axes.
💡 Hint: Remember, you need to find the mass based on volume.
