For instance, in the latter, Simpson's 3rd rule is used to find the volume between two co-ordinates. To calculate the entire area / volume, Simpson's first rule is used. [7]
The moment of inertia (technically, second moment of area) of the hull section is calculated by finding the neutral or central axis of the beam and then totaling up the quantity = + for each section of plate or girder making up the hull, with being the moment of inertia of that section of material, being the width (horizontal dimension) of the ...
