Moment of Inertia of a Thin Rod

 

Moment of Inertia of a Thin Rod Formula, End Axis

\( I_e \;=\; \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot m \cdot l^2 \)     (End Axis)

\( I_c \;=\; \dfrac{1}{12} \cdot m \cdot l^2 \)     (Center Axis)

Symbol English Metric
\(\large{ I }\) = Moment of Inertia  \(lbm \;/\; ft^2-sec\)  \(kg \;/\; m^2\)
\(\large{ l }\) = Length \( in \) \( m \)
\(\large{ m }\) = Mass \( lbm \) \( kg \)
