Second Moment of Composite Areas
Unlike the moments of inertia Ix and Iy, the product of inertia Ixy can be positive,
negative, or zero.
When one or both of the x and y axes are axes of symmetry for the area A, the
product of inertia Ixy is zero.
The product of inertia of the given area with respect to its principal axes is
zero.
