Formula: Steiner's Theorem For Shifting Axes of Rotation
Parallel Shifted Axis of Rotation of a Cylinder

Moment of inertia

Unit
Moment of inertia of a rotating body (e.g. a cylinder) whose axis of rotation has been shifted parallel to the axis of rotation through the center of mass. With the Steiner's theorem, there is no need to calculate a complicated integral for the new axis of rotation.

Moment of inertia through CM

Unit
Moment of inertia of the rotating body whose axis of rotation passes through the center of mass of the body.

Distance

Unit
Distance of the new axis of rotation from the axis of rotation through the center of mass

Mass

Unit
Total mass of the rotating body.
