Answer

$$ I_{y z}=\frac{m}{6} a h $$

Work Step by Step

Mass of differential element is $d m=\rho d V=\rho h x d y=\rho h(a-y) d$ $$ m=\int_m d m=\rho h \int_0^a(a-y) d y=\frac{\rho a^2 h}{2} $$ Using the parallel axis theorem: $$ \begin{aligned} & d I_{y z}=\left(d I_{y^{\prime} z^{\prime}}\right)_G+d m y_G z_G \\ &=0+(\rho h x d y)(y)\left(\frac{h}{2}\right) \\ &=\frac{\rho h^2}{2} x y d y \\ &=\frac{\rho h^2}{2}\left(a y-y^2\right) d y \\ & I_{y z}=\frac{\rho h^2}{2} \int_0^a\left(a y-y^2\right) d y=\frac{\rho a^3 h^2}{12}=\frac{1}{6}\left(\frac{\rho a^2 h}{2}\right)(a h)=\frac{m}{6} a h \end{aligned} $$
