Study resources

Centroid vs First moment of area vs Second moment of area vs Moment of inertia (Video) — Directly untangles the four terms students most often confuse, including the centroid, before anything else in this section.
Mechanics of Materials: Review of centroid and area moment of inertia (Video) — Compact revision video covering composite sections. Useful once the basics are clear and you want to practise built-up shapes.
