Statics and Dynamics | Dyamics and Moment of Inertia
Dynamics involves applying Newton's 2nd Law for rotation.
In a system that is not in rotational equilibrium, the angular acceleration is not zero. This results in the RHS (right-hand side) of the 2nd law to not be zero. You will need to know the moment of inertia for a mass distribution. Below are the equations for a the moment of inertia for some common mass distributions.
Here are some examples of moments of inertia for various mass distributions.
