Lesson 6 Moment of Inertia

This document discusses calculating the moment of inertia of plane areas and solids of revolution. It provides formulas for finding the moment of inertia of a plane area (Iλ = ∫ r2 dm or ∫ r2 dA) and solid of revolution (Iλ = ∫ r2 dv) using integration. Examples are given of finding the moment of inertia of areas bounded by curves with respect to different axes and solids generated by revolving those areas about axes. An evaluation section provides additional practice problems for finding moments of inertia.
