Calculate Moment of Inertia





Formula

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

\[ I = \frac{2}{3} M r \]

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 Spherical Shell about its Diameter

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ I = \frac{2}{3} M r \]

Evaluating:

\[ I = \frac{2}{3} \times 12.6 \times 2.1 \]

The Moment of Inertia is 17.64 kg·m².
