To set up the integral for the area moment of inertia about the y-axis () using a vertical strip, express the differential area as the product of the strip's height (upper boundary minus lower boundary) and its width . Substitute this into the definition and determine the integration limits based on the horizontal extent of the region bounded by functions of .
Conditions: The region is bounded by curves that can be expressed as functions of .; A vertical differential strip is chosen, meaning its width is .; The integration variable is .
