Moment of Inertia of a rotated quarter circle

161 Views Asked by At

Here's the figure.

I'm trying to find the moment of inertia of just the quarter circle part for the x1, x2 axis, which I believe would be (being $\rho$ the density): $$\frac{\rho}{16}\pi+\frac{\pi\rho}{4}(1-\frac{4}{3\pi})^2$$

However I am told that it is instead $$\frac{\rho}{16}\pi+\frac{\pi\rho}{4}(-(\frac{4}{3\pi})^2+(1-\frac{4}{3\pi})^2)$$

My question is where does the extra $-(\frac{4}{3\pi})^2$ come from? Does it have to do with the quarter circle being rotated in comparison to the ones shown in tabled values? What am I doing wrong?
