The author studies the extremal properties of the Minkowski cross-measures \(W_i\) which, in the case of a convex body \(A\subset \mathbb R^n\), \(n\geq 2\), with smooth boundary \(\partial A\), can be easily defined by the surface integrals \[ W_i(A)=\frac{1}{i\binom ni}\int_{\partial A} [k_1,\dots ,k_{i-1}] dA, \] where \([k_1,\dots ,k_{i-1}]\) is the \((i-1)\)th elementary symmetric function on the principle curvatures \(k_1, \dots k_{i-1}\), \(i=1,\dots ,n-1\). Among other results, the author proves that (a) for all convex bodies with given values of the radius \(r\) of an inscribed ball and the diameter \(d\), \(W_i\) attends its minimum at the convex hull of the ball \(\{ x=(x_1,\dots ,x_n)\in \mathbb R^n \mid x_1^2+\dots +x_n^2<r^2\}\) and two points \((\pm d/2, 0,\dots ,0)\); (b) if the integral mean curvature of a convex body in \(\mathbb R^3\) equals \(M\) then the diameter of the body is at most \(M/\pi\).
