Lesson Plan: Moment of Inertia of Solids Mathematics
This lesson plan includes the objectives and prerequisites of the lesson teaching students how to find the moment of inertia and radius of gyration of a solid and use the parallel axis theorem to find the moment of inertia of a composite solid at different axes.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- find moments of inertia of solids,
- find radii of gyration of solids,
- use the parallel axis theorem.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- moments in 2 dimensions.
