Parallel-Axis Theorem Let h be the perpendicular distance between the given axis and a parallel axis through the center of mass. If Icom is the rotational inertia of the body about the parallel axis that extends through the body’s center of mass, then the rotational inertia I about the given axis is Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research
Torque The ability of a force to rotate a body depends not only on its tangential component , but also on just how far from the pivot point the force is applied. The unit of the torque is Nm! Do no use J! Line of Action Moment Arm Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research
