Moment of inertia calculation method
Equation
The total moment of inertia $I_t$ of an object is calculated by summing the moments of inertia of its components that are comparable to the moment of inertia of an individual particle,
$ I = m r ^2$ |
resulting in a moment of inertia as
$I_t=\sum_kI_k$ |

Steiner theorem
Equation
When the axis of rotation does not pass through the center of mass (CM), the moment of inertia $I$ can be calculated using the Steiner's Theorem. To do this, we start with the moment of inertia with respect to the center of mass, for example:
• For a bar with a perpendicular axis, it is calculated using length of the Bar $m$, mass of Object $kg$ and moment of Inertia at the CM of a thin Bar, perpendicular Axis $kg m^2$
$ I_{CM} =\displaystyle\frac{1}{12} m l ^2$ |
• For a cylinder with a perpendicular axis, it is calculated using cylinder Height $m$, mass of Object $kg$, moment of Inertia at the CM of a Cylinder, Axis perpendicular to the Cylinder Axis $kg m^2$ and radius of a circle $m$
$ I_{CM} =\displaystyle\frac{1}{12} m ( h ^2+3 r ^2)$ |
• For a cylinder with a parallel axis, it is calculated using mass of Object $kg$, moment of Inertia at the CM of a Cylinder, Axis parallel to the Cylinder Axis $kg m^2$ and radius of a circle $m$
$ I_{CM} =\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} m r ^2$ |
• For a parallelepiped, it is calculated using length of the Edge of the Straight Parallelepiped $m$, mass of Object $kg$, moment of Inertia at the CM of Parallelepiped, Center to the Face $kg m^2$ and width of the Edge of the Straight Parallelepiped $m$
$ I_{CM} =\displaystyle\frac{1}{12} m ( a ^2+ b ^2)$ |
• For a cube, it is calculated using
$ I_{CM} =\displaystyle\frac{1}{6} m a ^2$ |
• For a sphere, it is calculated using mass of Object $kg$, moment of Inertia at the CM of a Sphere $kg m^2$ and radius of a circle $m$
$ I_{CM} =\displaystyle\frac{2}{5} m r ^2$ |
Then, the product of mass and the square of the distance between the axis of rotation and the center of mass is added using mass of Object $kg$, moment of Inertia at the CM of a Sphere $kg m^2$ and radius of a circle $m$
$ I = I_{CM} + m d ^2$ |

Moment of inertia of a particle
Equation
For a particle with mass $m$ orbiting around an axis at a distance equivalent to a radius $r$, the relationship can be established by comparing the angular momentum expressed in terms of the moment of inertia and in terms of the moment, which is equal to:
$ I = m r ^2$ |
La relación entre momento angular y momento es igual a
$ L = r p $ |
se puede igualar a
$ L = I \omega $ |
que tras remplazar
$ p = m_i v $ |
y
$ v = r \omega $ |
se puede concluir que la momento de inercia de una partícula girando en una órbita es
$ I = m r ^2$ |
