Moment of Inertia of Right Circular Solid Cylinder about its Symmetry Axis Calculator

Calculate Moment of Inertia





Formula

The formula to calculate Moment of Inertia (I) is:

\[ I = \frac{M \cdot r^2}{2} \]

Where:

Definition

Moment of Inertia is the measure of the resistance of a body to angular acceleration about a given axis.

Mass of body is the quantity of matter in a body regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it.

Radius of body is a radial line from the focus to any point of a curve.

How to calculate Moment of Inertia of Right Circular Solid Cylinder about its Symmetry Axis

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ I = \frac{M \cdot r^2}{2} \]

Evaluating:

\[ I = \frac{12.6 \cdot (2.1)^2}{2} \]

The Moment of Inertia is 27.783 kg·m².
