ABSTRACT TOPIC: MOMENT OF INERTIA

The rotational equivalent of Newtons Second Law F=MA is I=, in which is the torque, I is the moment of inertia about the axis of rotation, and is the angular acceleration. In the same way that mass is a measure of inertia (or resistance to acceleration) the moment of inertia is a measure of resistance to rotation. However, mass is an intrinsic property we can change the shape and/or orientation of an object without changing its mass. In contrast, the moment of inertia depends on both the mass and the geometry of the object as well as the position of its rotation axis. It is a measure of how difficult it is to get a body to rotate about a given axis. The Higher the magnitude of Moment of Inertia, the tougher it is to get the object spinning. It depends not only on mass but also on the way the mass is distributed with respect to the given axis. While discussing moment of inertia we will discuss the perpendicular axes theorem and parallel axes theorem. With the help of whole this concept we can derive the moment of inertia of a ring, a solid disc, a cylinder, an annular disc and also we can establish the relation between moment of inertia and torque and moment of inertia and angular momentum. We are going to discuss all these in our group assignment and the presentation.
