Moment of Inertia

Moment of Inertia Defined The moment of inertia measures the resistance to a change in rotation. Change in rotation from torqueChange in rotation from torque Moment of inertia I = mr 2 for a single massMoment of inertia I = mr 2 for a single mass The total moment of inertia is due to the sum of masses at a distance from the axis of rotation.
3
Two Spheres A spun baton has a moment of inertia due to each separate mass. I = mr 2 + mr 2 = 2mr 2 If it spins around one end, only the far mass counts. I = m(2r) 2 = 4mr 2 m r m
4
Mass at a Radius Extended objects can be treated as a sum of small masses. A straight rod ( M ) is a set of identical masses m. The total moment of inertia is Each mass element contributes The sum becomes an integral axis length L distance r to r+ r
5
Rigid Body Rotation The moments of inertia for many shapes can found by integration. Ring or hollow cylinder: I = MR 2Ring or hollow cylinder: I = MR 2 Solid cylinder: I = (1/2) MR 2Solid cylinder: I = (1/2) MR 2 Hollow sphere: I = (2/3) MR 2Hollow sphere: I = (2/3) MR 2 Solid sphere: I = (2/5) MR 2Solid sphere: I = (2/5) MR 2
6
Point and Ring The point mass, ring and hollow cylinder all have the same moment of inertia. I = MR 2I = MR 2 All the mass is equally far away from the axis. The rod and rectangular plate also have the same moment of inertia. I = (1/3) MR 2 The distribution of mass from the axis is the same. R M M R axis length R M M

Playground Ride A child of 180 N sits at the edge of a merry-go-round with radius 2.0 m and mass 160 kg. What is the moment of inertia, including the child? Assume the merry-go-round is a disk. I d = (1/2)Mr 2 = 320 kg m 2 Treat the child as a point mass. W = mg, m = W/g = 18 kg. I c = mr 2 = 72 kg m 2 The total moment of inertia is the sum. I = I d + I c = 390 kg m 2 m M r
8
Parallel Axis Theorem Some objects don’t rotate about the axis at the center of mass. The moment of inertia depends on the distance between axes. The moment of inertia for a rod about its center of mass: axis M h = R/2
9
Perpendicular Axis Theorem For flat objects the rotational moment of inertia of the axes in the plane is related to the moment of inertia perpendicular to the plane. M I x = (1/12) Mb 2 I y = (1/12) Ma 2 a b I z = (1/12) M(a 2 + b 2 )
10
Spinning Coin What is the moment of inertia of a coin of mass M and radius R spinning on one edge? The moment of inertia of a spinning disk perpendicular to the plane is known. I d = (1/2) MR 2 The disk has two equal axes in the plane. The perpendicular axis theorem links these. I d = I e + I e = (1/2) MR 2 I e = (1/4) MR 2 M R M R next IdId IeIe
