Abstract

The role of moment for inertia in rotational dynamics is equivalent to mass in linear dynamics and can be understood as an object's resistance to rotational motion. It establishes the relationship between several quantities such as angular momentum, angular velocity, torque, and angular acceleration. Accurately calculating the moment of inertia is crucial for designing various rotating systems and mechanical devices in engineering. For example, when dealing with rotating mechanical parts or machines, their moment of inertia ensures stability and performance in design needs to be considered. In physics and engineering, the analysis of rotational motion for rigid bodies relies on the concept of moment of inertia. It allows us to understand the dynamic behavior of a rigid body around an axis, including applications such as rotational stability, gyroscopic motion, and conservation of angular momentum. In this paper, the rotational inertia of a rigid body is studied by different method. Calculating the moment of inertia helps us gain a deeper understanding of an object's inertial properties during rotational motion while providing an important foundation for engineering design, scientific research, and material analysis.
