Natali5045456 [20]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

A plate of uniform areal density $\rho = 2 \ kg/m^2$ is bounded by the four curves:

$y = -x^2+4x-5m$

$y = x^2+4x+6m$

$x=1 \ m$

$x=2 \ m$

where x and y are in meters. Point $P$ has coordinates $P_x=1 \ m$ and $P_y=-2 \ m$ . What is the moment of inertia $I_P$ of the plate about the point $P$ ?
