Moment of Inertia – Full Discussion

Moment of Inertia – Full Discussion
Moment of Inertia:- Moment of inertia plays the same role in rotational motion as played by mass in linear translational motion. So we can say that turning or rotating effect of mass is known as Moment of Inertia (Denoted by I).

Mathematically Moment of Inertia of a rigid body about a fixed axis of rotation is defined as the sum of the product of the masses of all the particles constituting the body and the square of their distances from axis of rotation.



So Moment of Inertia depends on

(1) Mass Distribution around the axis of rotation.
(2) Mass of the body.
(3) Distance of the particles from axis of rotation.
