computes the polynomial moment for the region reg.
Details and Options Examplesopen allclose all Basic Examples (2)Find the polynomial moment over a ball:
Find same moment with parameters in the region:
Find the moments of different powers:
Scope (10) Special Regions (1)Find the moment of various special regions in various dimensions:
Formula Regions (2)Moment of a disk represented as an ImplicitRegion:
The moment of a disk represented as a ParametricRegion:
Using a rational parametrization of a disk:
Applications (3)Find the surface area of a cow using the zero-order RegionMoment:
Find its centroid using the first-order moments for each of the axes:
Verify the results using RegionMeasure and RegionCentroid:
Find the covariance matrix of a constant-density distribution defined by a region:
Transform the region so that its RegionCentroid is at the origin:
Compute the matrix of second-order moments and normalize it by dividing by RegionMeasure:
Find a sphere that shares the first four moments with the cow surface:
The sphere has the same surface area and centroid as the cow:
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:
MomentOfInertia can compute the moment of inertia matrix wrt to the origin consisting of multiple region moments:
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:
