To calculate the m2 (moment of inertia) of a beam in MATLAB, you can use the trapz()
function to calculate the numerical integration of the moment of inertia equation. The equation for the moment of inertia of a rectangular beam is I = bh^3/12, where b is the width and h is the height. Here is an example code to calculate the m2 of a beam:

Note: This code is based on the assumption of a rectangular beam, you may need to modify the equation to fit your specific beam shape.
