Moment of inertiaTorque and rotational dynamicsAngular momentumRolling motion

Moment of inertia

  • I=∑mr2=∫r2dm,I=MK2 (K=radius of gyration)
  • Axis theorems

    I=Icm​+Md2 (parallel);Iz​=Ix​+Iy​ (perpendicular, plane bodies)
  • Standard (about the central axis)

    ring MR2;disc 21​MR2;solid sphere 52​MR2;hollow sphere 32​MR2
  • rod about centre 121​ML2;about end 31​ML2;ring about diameter 21​MR2;disc about diameter 41​MR2

Torque and rotational dynamics

  • τ=r×F,τ=Iα,W=∫τdθ,P=τω
  • Kinetic energy

    K=21​Iω2

Angular momentum

  • L=r×p​=Iω,τ=dtdL​
  • Conservation

    τext​=0 ⇒ I1​ω1​=I2​ω2​

Rolling motion

  • Without slipping

    vcm​=ωR,K=21​Mv2(1+R2K2​)
  • Down an incline

    a=1+K2/R2gsinθ​,μmin​=1+R2/K2tanθ​
