you need to know how to determine:
a) the moment of inertia of a rectangle( about its centroid)
b) the parallel axis theorem

mathmate · Answer

and (c) how to find the centroid of a composite (shape) body. Please post if you need further help. See, in the mean time, a good summary with worked examples: http://www.secretsofengineering.net/Statics/PDF_files/Statics-Unit-29.pdf
