TEST BANK FOR Dynamics with Dynamics of Rigid Bodies By S L Loney Converted

If r be the perpendicular distance from any given line of any element m of the mass of a body, then the quantity åmr2 is called the moment of inertia of the body about the given line. In other words, the moment of inertia is thus obtained; take each element of the body, multiply it by the square of its perpendicular distance from the given line; and add together all the quantities thus obtained. If this sum be equal to Mk2, where M is the total mass of the body, then k is called the Rad...
