Transfer of Rectangular Axes

Consider the coordinate (x, y) to transfer as coordinate (x’, y’) as shown in Fig. 7.4

Here, I_x, I_y, I_z represent the plane area. Thus, area moment of inertia about the parallel axes can be given by Equation 7.5

The term, J is the polar moment of inertia and can be replaced for I_z.
