4.23 The moment of inertia , , and the product of inertia of the
cross-sectional area shown in the figure are:
mm4, mm4, and mm4
The principal moments of inertia are the eigenvalues of the
matrix
, and the principal axes are in the direction of the eigen-
vectors. Determine the principal moments of inertia by solving
the char-
acteristic equation. Determine the orientation of the principal
axes of
inertia (unit vectors in the directions of the eigenvectors).
Solution
The eigenvalues of the matrix are the principal moments of

7. inertia. They are determined from
the roots of the characteristic equation:
which simplifies to .
The equation is solved by using the quadratic formula:
or and
By definition, the eigenvectors corresponding to each
eigenvalue must satisfy:
Starting with the first eigenvalue:
These two equations are redundant and yield .
Since the eigenvector is a unit vector: .
