Consider the circular section in Table 3–4 with rc = 3 in and R = 1 in. Determine e by using the formula from the table and approximately by using Eq. (3–66). Compare the results of the two solutions.

Using the formula from Table 3–4 gives

r_{n} =\frac {R^{2}}{2(r_{c} −\sqrt {r^{2}_{c} − R^{2}})} =\frac {1^{2}}{2(3 − \sqrt {3^{2} − 1})} = 2.91421  in

This gives an eccentricity of

e = r_{c} − r_{n} = 3 − 2.91421 = 0.08579  in

The approximate method, using Eq. (3–66), yields

e \dot {=} \frac {I}{r_{c} A }=\frac {π R^{4}/4}{r_{c}(π R^{2})} =\frac {R^{2}}{4r_{c}} =\frac {1^{2}}{4(3)} = 0.08333  in

This differs from the exact solution by −2.9 percent.
