  2. List of moments of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_moments_of_inertia

    The moments of inertia of a mass have units of dimension ML 2 ([mass] × [length] 2). It should not be confused with the second moment of area, which has units of dimension L 4 ([length] 4) and is used in beam calculations. The mass moment of inertia is often also known as the rotational inertia, and sometimes as the angular mass.

  3. Moment of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia

    The moment of inertia of the compound pendulum is now obtained by adding the moment of inertia of the rod and the disc around the pivot point as, =, + +, + (+), where is the length of the pendulum. Notice that the parallel axis theorem is used to shift the moment of inertia from the center of mass to the pivot point of the pendulum.

  4. Angular momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum

    The trivial case of the angular momentum of a body in an orbit is given by = where is the mass of the orbiting object, is the orbit's frequency and is the orbit's radius.. The angular momentum of a uniform rigid sphere rotating around its axis, instead, is given by = where is the sphere's mass, is the frequency of rotation and is the sphere's radius.

  5. Poinsot's ellipsoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poinsot's_ellipsoid

    In general a torus is almost determined by three parameters: the ratios of the second and third moments of inertia to the highest of the three moments of inertia, and the ratio / relating the angular momentum to the energy times the highest moment of inertia. But for any such a set of parameters there are two tori, because there are two "tacos ...

  6. Flexural rigidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexural_rigidity

    Flexural rigidity of a plate has units of Pa·m 3, i.e. one dimension of length less than the same property for the rod, as it refers to the moment per unit length per unit of curvature, and not the total moment. I is termed as moment of inertia. J is denoted as 2nd moment of inertia/polar moment of inertia.

    When choosing a frame so that its axes are aligned with the principal axes of the inertia tensor, its component matrix is diagonal, which further simplifies calculations. As described in the moment of inertia article, the angular momentum L can then be written

  8. Rotation around a fixed axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_around_a_fixed_axis

    The moment of inertia of an object, symbolized by , is a measure of the object's resistance to changes to its rotation. The moment of inertia is measured in kilogram metre² (kg m 2). It depends on the object's mass: increasing the mass of an object increases the moment of inertia.

  9. Center of percussion - Wikipedia

    where is the moment of inertia around the CM. For any point P a distance p {\displaystyle p} on the opposite side of the CM from the point of impact, the change in velocity of point P is: d v n e t = d v c m − p d ω . {\displaystyle dv_{net}=dv_{cm}-pd\omega .}
