moment of inertia Cylinder 1

Moment of Inertia of a Cylinder Formulas, Solid Cylinder

\( I_z \;=\; \frac{1}{2}\; m \; r^2 \) 

\( I_x \;=\; I_y = \frac {1}{12} \;m \; ( 3\;r{^2} + l^2 ) \) 

Symbol English Metric
\(\large{ I }\) = Moment of Inertia \(lbm \;/\; ft^2-sec\) \(kg \;/\; m^2\)
\(\large{ l }\) = Length \( in \) \( mm \)
\(\large{ m }\) = Mass \( lbm \) \( kg \)
\(\large{ r }\) = Radius \( in \) \( mm \)
