Solid Dynamics - Lecture 6: Moments of Inertia

This document discusses moments of inertia, including: 1) Moments of inertia for a system of material points with respect to different axes. 2) Products of inertia with respect to axes. 3) Moments and products of inertia with respect to parallel axes using Steiner's theorem. 4) Moments of inertia for basic shapes like rods, discs, rectangular solids, and spheres.
