APPLICATIONS OF SIMILARITY IN FINDING MOMENTS OF INERTIA SIMPLE GEOMETRIC SHAPES

Abstract

The article discusses one of the most important issues of modern technical education – solving applied problems with the help of a mathematical apparatus, particularly the similarity method. The important and invaluable role of applied problems has been confirmed by many scientific discoveries in the field of technology and science. The difficulty of studying the problem of finding the moment of inertia of a flat figure is primarily due to the versatility and variability as such. The paper singles out and describes the main statements used in solving applied problems, considers their application in solving practical problems of mechanics. The methodology presented in the article for introducing the main methods of studying this issue was implemented in a specific educational process in the classroom for the course “Physics” [1] at the Orenburg State Pedagogical University in the preparation of future bachelors in the direction of “Pedagogical education” and made it possible to increase the efficiency of mastering the studied material students.
