Properties & Relations  (8)

Zero-order moment for curves is equivalent to ArcLength:

Zero-order moment for surfaces is equivalent to Area:

Zero-order moment for volumes is equivalent to Volume:

The zero-order moment for any region is equivalent to the RegionMeasure:

RegionCentroid is the first moments divided by the zero moment:

The centroid is given by :

Compare to the centroid:

MomentOfInertia can compute the moment of inertia matrix wrt to the origin consisting of multiple region moments:

Moment computes for a PDF :

RegionMoment computes corresponding to a uniform density:

CentralMoment computes for a PDF and centroid :

After centering the region, this becomes a standard moment:

As in the previous example, RegionMoment assumes uniform distribution:
