1.MOMENT OF INERTIA (a) CALCULATION OF MOMENT OF INERTIA BY DIGITS:
M.I about an axis of symmetry is [M] mass * the sum of squares of perpendicular semi axis
______________________________
N
where N = 3 --- for rectangular body
4 --- for elliptical (including circular)
5 --- for ellipsoidal (including spherical)
ex- for ellipse
I
z = M/4 ( a
2 + b
2 )
(b) The sum of moment of masses about its centre of mass is always zero.
(c) Rolling motion on an inclined plane :
velocity v = [2gs] / [

1+K
2 / R
2 ].
acceleration a = gsin

/ [ 1 + K
2 / R
2 ].
Where, s = distance of inclined plane

K = radius of gyration
R = radius of symmetrical body
(d) Angular velocity of a point whose motion is in a plane:
r
2d

/dt = 2v * p
where p = perpendicular from the point O upon the tangent at P to the path of the moving particle.
(e) The large moment of inertia helps keeping the motion uniform.
(f) If a number of torques acted on a system and the system is in rotational equilibrium, then clockwise torque = anticlockwise torque.
2.ROLLING MOTION ON A INCLINED PLANE mgh = 1/2mv2 [1 + I/mr2 ]
t = 1/sin
2h [ 1 + I / mr2 ] / g
I = moment of inertia
therefore two bodies of the same shape but of different masses and radii reach the bottom at the same time.
