Expression for the moment of inertia of a cylinder from parallel axis theorem is,

I COM
Here, I is the moment of inertia of the cylinder about the rotational axis, is the
moment of inertia of the center of mass of the cylinder, M is the mass of the cylinder, and
h is the height of the rotational axis from the central longitudinal axis of the cylinder.

Express the relation for the moment of inertia of the centre of mass of the cylinder.
