    Inertial Mass and Moment of Inertia

    Karlish White
    This document discusses inertial mass and moment of inertia. It defines inertial mass as the property of matter that resists changes in motion. Moment of inertia is the rotational analog of mass for linear motion and depends on an object's shape and how its mass is distributed from the axis of rotation. The document examines the moment of inertia of specific objects like disks, rods, and point masses, providing formulas for calculating each. It also notes that the moment of inertia of continuous mass distributions can be determined through integration.

    I. INTRODUCTION
    nertial mass is a mass parameter giving the inertial
    resistance to acceleration of the body when responding to all
    types of force, the second law of motion provides a definition
    of inertial mass as the property of matter that resists changes
    in motion or, equivalently, as an object's inertia.
    Inertial mass is the name given to rotational inertia, the
    rotational analog of mass for linear motion. It appears in the
    relationships for the dynamics of rotational motion. The
    moment of inertia must be specified with respect to a chosen
    axis of rotation.
    For a point mass the moment of inertia is just the mass times
    the square of perpendicular distance to the rotation axis, I =
    mr2. That point mass relationship becomes the basis for all
    other moments of inertia since any object can be built up from
    a collection of point masses.

    A. Disk
    The moment of inertia of a thin circular disk is the same as
    that for a solid cylinder of any length, but it deserves special
    consideration because it is often used as an element for
    building up the moment of inertia expression for other
    geometries, such as the sphere or the cylinder about an end
    diameter. The moment of inertia about a diameter is the classic
    example of the perpendicular axis theorem for a planar object.
    There are two different cases of disk when it is turning in a
    perpendicular axis and when it is turning in a parallel axis
    (The formulas are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2)

    B. Rod
    For a uniform rod with negligible thickness, the moment of



    inertia about its center of mass is shown in the Figure 3.

    Figure 3


    C. Point mass
    The moment of inertia of a point mass with respect to an
    axis is defined as the product of the mass times the distance
    from the axis squared. The moment of inertia of any extended
    object is built up from that basic definition, for a collection of
    point masses the moment of inertia is the sum of the masses.
    The formula for the point mass is shown in the Figure 4.


    Figure 4

    The continuos mass distributions require an infinite sum of
    all the point mass moments which make up the whole. This is
    accomplished by an integration over all the mass. The
    representation is shown in the Figure 5.
