Moments of inertia by summation

This study delves into moment of inertia in rigid body mechanics, a crucial concept in physics. While it’s traditionally taught through integration, we propose an alternative method using discrete mass segments. This approach simplifies calculations, particularly for symmetric bodies, without comple...
