    Ranjit Barai
    The moment of inertia is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in rotational speed and depends on mass distribution and the rotational axis. It is calculated differently for point masses, collections of points, and continuous distributions using techniques like integration. Common shapes use parallel axis theorems to relate inertia about one axis to another. The radius of gyration also relates actual mass distribution to an equivalent concentrated mass.

    Moment of inertia

    ezymechanic.blogspot.com/2015/07/moment-of-inertia.html

    The Moment of Inertia or Mass Moment of Inertia is the measure of a body's resistance to change in
    it's rotational speed. The moment of inertia must be specified with respect to a chosen rotational axis.
    The moment of inertia depends on the body's mass distribution and the rotational axis chosen. The larger
    moment of inertia requiring more torque to change the body's rotational speed.

    A point mass
    The moment of inertia is the mass times the radius from the rotational axis squared.

    Moment of Inertia of Point Mass

    A collection of point mass


    The moment of inertia is just the sum of the point mass moment of inertia.

    Moment of Inertia of Collection of Point Mass

    A continuous mass distributions


    The moment of inertia require an infinite sum of all the point mass moment of inertia which make up the
    whole part. This can be calculated by an integration over the whole mass.

    Moment of Inertia of Continuous Mass Distributions

    A common shape
    For a common shape, we usually calculate the moment of inertia about the certain point and use it to
    apply for another rotation axis by use the parallel axis theorem.

    Moment of Inertia of Common Shape Body

    Parallel Axis Theorem


    The moment of inertia about any rotation axis which parallel to a certain axis at center of mass (Iparallel) is
    the moment of inertia about the center of mass (Icm) plus the product of mass times the distance between
    the center of mass and the rotation axis squared.

    Parallel Axis Theorem

    Parallel Axis Theorem can also apply to any rotation axis which parallel to any certain axis at a point that
    already know the standard moment of inertia (Ixx , Iyy or Izz).

    Parallel Axis Theorem & Radius of Gyration

    Radius of gyration [K]


    It is the distance from a rotation axis to a certain point which the mass of a body may be assumed to be
    concentrated and at which the moment of inertia will be equal to the moment of inertia of the actual mass
    about the rotation axis.
