3.3.3 Standard cases
Product Second Moment of Area is given by Ixy = hkA and can be negative. The
signs of h and k are determined using the figure below. Ixy = 0 about an axis of
symmetry.

Second Moment of Area about the u-axis
These equations give the 2nd Moment of area, Iu , Iv and Product Moment
of area Iuv about any perpendicular axis, uv that is inclined at an angle,
θ to the x-axis
