Lesson Plan: Moment of Inertia of Solids
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.
