6-2 Moment of inertia
1. Calculation formulas for mass and moment of inertia
(1) When center of revolution and line of center of gravity match
Calculation formulas for mass and moment of inertia are shown below.
m:Mass (kg), Ix, Iy, Iz: moment of inertia (kgm
2
) making Axes x, y and z as centers of revolution
G:Distance from edge surface of center of gravity (m)
ρ:Density (kg/m
3
)
Units - Length: m, mass: kg, moment of inertia: kgm
