  2. List of moments of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_moments_of_inertia

    A point mass does not have a moment of inertia around its own axis, but using the parallel axis theorem a moment of inertia around a distant axis of rotation is achieved. Two point masses, m 1 and m 2 , with reduced mass μ and separated by a distance x , about an axis passing through the center of mass of the system and perpendicular to the ...

  3. Right circular cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_circular_cylinder

    The equilateral cylinder is characterized by being a right circular cylinder in which the diameter of the base is equal to the value of the height (geratrix). [ 4 ] Then, assuming that the radius of the base of an equilateral cylinder is r {\displaystyle r\,} then the diameter of the base of this cylinder is 2 r {\displaystyle 2r\,} and its ...

  4. Moment of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia

    A body's moment of inertia about a particular axis depends both on the mass and its distribution relative to the axis, increasing with mass & distance from the axis. It is an extensive (additive) property: for a point mass the moment of inertia is simply the mass times the square of the perpendicular distance to the axis of rotation. The moment ...

  5. Vector fields in cylindrical and spherical coordinates

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_fields_in...

    Vectors are defined in cylindrical coordinates by (ρ, φ, z), where ρ is the length of the vector projected onto the xy-plane, φ is the angle between the projection of the vector onto the xy-plane (i.e. ρ) and the positive x-axis (0 ≤ φ < 2π), z is the regular z-coordinate. (ρ, φ, z) is given in Cartesian coordinates by:

  6. Cylindrical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylindrical_coordinate_system

    The dot is the point with radial distance ρ = 4, angular coordinate φ = 130°, and height z = 4. A cylindrical coordinate system is a three-dimensional coordinate system that specifies point positions by the distance from a chosen reference axis (axis L in the image opposite), the direction from the axis relative to a chosen reference ...

  7. First moment of area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_moment_of_area

    The first moment of area is based on the mathematical construct moments in metric spaces.It is a measure of the spatial distribution of a shape in relation to an axis. The first moment of area of a shape, about a certain axis, equals the sum over all the infinitesimal parts of the shape of the area of that part times its distance from the axis [Σad].

  8. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    The equations of motion describe the movement of the center of mass of a body, which remains at a constant distance from the axis of rotation. In circular motion, the distance between the body and a fixed point on its surface remains the same, i.e., the body is assumed rigid .

  9. Cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder

    The height (or altitude) of a cylinder is the perpendicular distance between its bases. The cylinder obtained by rotating a line segment about a fixed line that it is parallel to is a cylinder of revolution. A cylinder of revolution is a right circular cylinder. The height of a cylinder of revolution is the length of the generating line segment.
