Mechanical and Geometric Properties of Thin and Polygonal Homogeneous Objects

We analyze the development and the usage of a computational software for the calculation of areas, centers of mass, moments of inertia and radii of gyration of at thin objects. The direct interaction of the student with a visual processing of physical and geometrical quantities is valued as an educational instrument for university students of general physics. They are shown visually the solution of didactic problems and the possibilities of usage of this software in other branches of knowledge is emphasized.
