Parallel axis theorem The moment of inertia of a body about a given axis is equal to the sum of its moment of inertia about a parallel axis passing through its centre of mass and the product of its mass and square of perpendicular distance between the two axes. r I=Ic+Mr 2 Ic
Perpendicular axis theorem The moment of inertia of a plane lamina about an axis perpendicular to its plane is equal to the sum of moment of inertia about two mutually perpendicular axes in its plane and intersecting each other at the point where the perpendicular axis meet the lamina. Iz Iz=Ix+Iy
To find moment of inertia Consider a small element Ø Find its mass Ø Find the MI of that small element Ø Integrating with proper limit to get total MI Ø
