Physical meaning of the Jacobian in relation to Dirac delta function


Is there a physical meaning to the equation δ(xa)=δ(ξα)|J|?

In non-rectangular coordinate systems where the transformation is non-singular, what is the implication of dividing the Dirac delta function by the Jacobian of the transformation to the coordinate system?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
