IMP PTS REGARDING MOMENT OF INERTIA
 
    • MOMENT OF INERTIA is rotation analogue of mass
 
    • Property due to which a body resists any change in rotational stat
 
    • A tensor quantity
 
    • MOI depends on mass as well as its distribution wrt axis of rotation
 
    • MOI I=mr^2 where r=perpendicular distance of pt mass m frm axis of rotation. So if the axis inclined at  frm vertical I=mr^2sin^2
 
    • MOI  I= dmr^2 for rigid body
 
    • I=0 for pt mass on the axis of rotation
 
    • theorem of parll axis(for both 3D and 2D):-MOI abt an axis passing though COM of body at distance r is given by I=Icm+mr^2
 
    • theorem of perpedicular axis(app only for planar bodies):-for a body in XY plane Iz=Ix+Iy
 
    • MOI can be added or subtracted when written WRT SAME AXIS
 
    • MOI abt symmetric axis will be same.Eg MOI wrt the two diagnols of square will be equal
 
    • Projection of a body's inertia and formed shape are equal .Eg: MOI of thin rod and square sheet(elongated rod) will be same abt the same axis
 
    • If a part is removed  Iremaining=Iwhole body-Iremoved part abt same axis
 
    • MOI of segment=(mass of segment)*r^2
    • DIRECT BUT IMP RESULTS
    •  
    • MOI abt any line in the plane of a square lamina passing through its centre will be same and =Iaxis/2
     
    • For a triangular lamina MOI abt  a perpendicular axis passing through its vertices       
    • Ia=m/12(3b^2+3c^2-a^2)                                                                                                                                                    Ib=m/12(3c^2+3a^2-b^2)                                                Ic=m/12*(3a^2+3b^2-c^2)                                                   
                                                                                                                                                                     
    • MOI  for rod  Iaxis= 1/12*ml^2
     
    • MOI  for thin rectangular sheet abt any diagnol I=ml^2b^2/(l^2+b^2)
     
    • MOI  for ring Iperpendicular=mr^2
     
    • MOI for disc Iperpendicular=1/2*mr^2
     
    • MOI for solid sphere I=2/5*mr^2 (abt any axis through centre)
     
    • MOI for hollow sphere I=2/3*mr^2 (abt any axis through centre)
     
    • MOI for solid cylinder(elongated disc) Iaxis=1/2*mr^2                                       Iequitorial axis=m(l^2/12+r^2/4)                                                                                                                                                                                                        
    • MOI for hollow cylinder(elongated ring) Iaxis=mr^2                                          Iequitorial axis=m(l^2/12+r^2/2)
     
    • A Practical q:if ice melts at the poles the MOI of earth increases but if a tunnel is dug and then ice melts MOI decreases 
    • Self written article

    • HOPE  IT  HELPS U!
