+ R2)Here is a list of moments of inertia for various bodies:
| slender rod: | axis through center | I = (1/12)ML |
| axis through end | I = (1/3)ML |
|
| rectangular plane: | axis through center | I = (1/12)M(a + b) |
| axis along edge | I = (1/3)Ma |
|
| cylinder | hollow | I = (1/2)M(R1
+ R2) |
| solid | I = (1/2)MR |
|
| thin-walled hollow | I = MR |
|
| sphere | solid | I = (2/5)MR |
| thin-walled hollow | I = (2/3)MR |
