write a code to calculate m2 of a beam in matlab

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:

main.m
% Define the width and height of the beam
b = 0.1; % m
h = 0.2; % m

% Define the range of x values
x = 0:0.01:1; % m

% Calculate the y values of moment of inertia equation
y = (b .* (h .^ 3))./12 .* ones(size(x));

% Use the trapz function to calculate the numerical integral of y
m2 = trapz(x, y);

% Display the result
disp(['The moment of Inertia (m2) of the beam is ', num2str(m2), ' m^4']);

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.
