Find the indicated moment of inertia or radius of gyration.
A cantilever beam is supported only at its left end, as shown in Fig. 26.63. Explain how to find the formula for the moment of inertia of this beam with respect to a vertical axis through its left end if its length is and its mass is . (Consider the mass to be distributed evenly along the beam. This is not an area or volume type of problem.) Find the formula for the moment of inertia.
