In physics, the moment of inertia measures how resistant an object is to changes in its rotational motion about a particular axis. Here are some of the most common moments of inertia:
Solid cylinder or disk of radius r rotating about its axis of symmetry:
Hollow cylinder of radius r rotating about its axis of symmetry:
Solid sphere of radius r rotating about its center:
Hollow sphere of radius r rotating about its center:
Thin rod of length r rotating about its middle:
Thin rod of length r rotating about one end:
