Moment of Inertia Quiz

Moment of Inertia of Irregular Bodies

• The moment of inertia of an irregular body can be calculated using the formula: I = ∫r^2 dm, where I is the moment of inertia, r is the distance from the axis of rotation, and dm is the mass of a small element of the body.
• The distribution of mass in an irregular body affects its moment of inertia, with mass concentrated closer to the axis of rotation resulting in a lower moment of inertia and mass distributed farther away from the axis resulting in a higher moment of inertia.
• The unit of moment of inertia is typically kg·m^2 or other units of mass multiplied by units of distance squared.
