Tossup

One of these quantities is divided by the flexural rigidity in the integrand of a theorem developed by Mohr. The signs of these quantities determine whether a structure undergoes “hogging” or “sagging.” One of these quantities is defined as a resultant internal couple and is typically plotted alongside shear in a structural design setup. These quantities are defined as the product of another quantity and some power of distance and include a “bending” type. (10[1])Another of these (10[1])quantities, which defines a rank-2 tensor appearing in the Euler equations, is invariant along (-5[1])an axis under (-5[1])the “stretch rule.” For 10 points, name these quantities (10[1])that describe the distribution of another quantity relative to a fixed reference point, such as the analogue of mass (10[1])in rotational (10[1])dynamics called one (10[1])“of inertia.” ■END■ (10[2])

ANSWER: moments [accept moment of inertia or bending moment; reject “momentum”]
