A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

INERTIA OF RIGID BODY

The topic of inertia of a rigid body centres on how mass is distributed in a body and how that distribution resists rotational motion. For examination purposes, you must master moment of inertia, radius of gyration, theorems for changing axes, and how these ideas are applied to common rigid bodies in rotational dynamics.
