Standard formulas ke liye jo hum yahan quote karte hain, parent note dekho Moment of Inertia of Standard Bodies. Hum Parallel Axis Theorem aur Perpendicular Axis Theorem par bhi baar baar depend karenge, isliye unhe pehle ek nazar dekh lena achha rahega.
Level 1 — Recognition
Goal: sahi formula chunna aur numbers plug karna. Koi tricks nahi, bas fluency.
Problem 1.1
Ek uniform ring jiska mass aur radius hai, woh apne centre se guzarne wale axis ke baare mein spin karta hai jo uske plane ke perpendicular hai. nikalo.
Recall Solution 1.1
KAUNSI body, KAUNSA axis? Ek ring apne central perpendicular axis ke baare mein. Saara mass axis se ek hi perpendicular distance par baitha hai, isliye sabke liye hai — yahi exactly woh case hai .
Problem 1.2
Ek solid sphere jiska mass , radius hai, ek diameter ke baare mein rotate karta hai. nikalo.
Recall Solution 1.2
Dono spheres mein se kaun sa? Solid, isliye "Full Five" → .
Problem 1.3
Ek thin rod, , , ek end se guzarne wale perpendicular axis ke baare mein spin karta hai. nikalo.
Recall Solution 1.3
End axis → (mass centre se zyada, end se average mein zyada door baitha hai).
Level 2 — Application
Goal: ek extra step — ek theorem, unit conversion, ya energy link.
Problem 2.1
Problem 1.3 wali rod (, ) ab apne centre se guzarne wale perpendicular axis ke baare mein spin karti hai. Parallel Axis Theorem se end-axis answer verify karo.
Recall Solution 2.1
Step 1 — centre value. Step 2 — theorem se shift karo. Parallel-axis theorem kehta hai , jahan do parallel axes ke beech ka gap hai. Centre se end tak hai. Yeh Solution 1.3 se exactly match karta hai. ✓ Theorem add karta hai kyunki centre of mass se axis door karna hamesha body ko spin karna mushkil banata hai.
Problem 2.2
Ek disk, , , par apne central axis ke baare mein spin karta hai. Iska Rotational Kinetic Energy nikalo.
Recall Solution 2.2
Step 1 — . Central axis ke baare mein disk: Step 2 — energy. Rotational KE, jaisi hai lekin ki jagah aur ki jagah aata hai:
Problem 2.3
Perpendicular Axis Theorem use karke ek disk (, ) ka moment of inertia ek diameter ke baare mein nikalo (ek axis jo disk ke plane mein hai, uske centre se guzarti hai).
Recall Solution 2.3
Theorem. Kisi bhi flat (planar) body ke liye, , jahan perpendicular axis hai aur do in-plane axes hain ek hi point se. Figure dekhte hain: dono diameters aur symmetry se interchangeable hain, isliye .

Solve karo. Hum jaante hain (central perpendicular axis). Tab Toh diameter ke baare mein disk ka hai — perpendicular-axis value ka half.
Level 3 — Analysis
Goal: bodies ko combine karo, compare karo, ya "kyun" ke baare mein quantitatively reason karo.
Problem 3.1
Ek rod (, ) ke har end par ek point mass fix hai. Rod ke centre se guzarne wale perpendicular axis ke baare mein total nikalo.
Recall Solution 3.1
Additivity. Moment of inertia add hota hai: total = rod ka + har point mass ka , sabhi ek hi axis ke baare mein.
- Rod:
- Har point mass par baitha hai: contribution . Dono milake: .
Problem 3.2
Do spheres ka same mass aur same radius hai: ek solid, ek hollow. Kaun sa diameter ke baare mein spin karna mushkil hai, aur uska kitne percentage zyada hai?
Recall Solution 3.2
Formulas compare karo. Hollow , solid . Kyunki , hollow shell spin karna mushkil hai — uska saara mass outer radius par baitha hai, jo maximum possible average deta hai; solid sphere apna zyaadatar mass centre ke paas chhupaata hai jahan hai. Percentage. Toh hollow sphere ka , zyada hai.
Problem 3.3
Ek solid cylinder aur ek thin ring ka same mass aur radius hai aur woh ek incline se roll karte hain (dekho Rolling Motion). Long axis ke baare mein unke moments of inertia hain (cylinder) aur (ring). Radius of Gyration concept use karke har ek ke liye nikalo, jahan .
Recall Solution 3.3
Definition. Radius of gyration woh single distance hai jahan aap saara mass rakh sakte ho aur real reproduce kar sako: .
- Cylinder:
- Ring: Ring ka mass effectively sab rim par hai (); cylinder ka andar ki taraf ghusa hua hai (), isliye woh roll-down race jeet jaata hai.
Level 4 — Synthesis
Goal: ek naya result derive karo, ya kai theorems ko chain mein jodo.
Problem 4.1
Scratch se ek thin ring ka moment of inertia uske diameters mein se ek ke baare mein derive karo (ek axis jo ring ke plane mein hai, centre se guzarti hai), phir perpendicular-axis theorem se confirm karo.
Recall Solution 4.1
Direct integration. Ring ko -plane mein rakho, radius , aur -axis ko apna rotation axis chunno. Angle par ek mass element position par hai. -axis tak uski perpendicular distance -coordinate hai: .

ke saath (mass poore circle mein evenly spread hai): use karke: Perpendicular-axis theorem se check karo. Flat ring ke liye, . Kyunki , hum paate hain . ✓ Dono agree karte hain.
Problem 4.2
Ek "dumbbell-disk": ek disk (, ) is tarah mount hai ki woh ek axis ke baare mein spin karta hai jo uske rim ko tangent hai aur uske plane ke perpendicular hai. nikalo.
Recall Solution 4.2
Step 1 — central value. Disk, central perpendicular axis: Step 2 — rim tak shift karo. Tangent axis central axis ke parallel hai, offset ke saath. Parallel-axis theorem: Equivalently — yaad rakhne layak ek neat closed form.
Level 5 — Mastery
Goal: design ya optimise karo; reasoning ko end-to-end defend karo.
Problem 5.1
Tumhe fixed mass aur fixed outer radius ka ek flywheel banana hai jo diye gaye spin rate par maximum rotational energy store kare. Solid disk vs thin ring (saara mass rim par) compare karo. Kaun zyada energy store karta hai, aur kitni?
Recall Solution 5.1
Insight. Energy hai, aur fixed hain, toh winner woh hai jiska zyada hai. Ring har gram ko par rakhta hai (maximum ), isliye woh zaroor jeetega.
- Disk:
- Ring: Ring exactly double energy store karta hai. Design note: real flywheels mass ko rim par push karte hain, lekin material strength limit karti hai ki high par kitna rim stress survive kar sako — yeh pure se aage ek genuine engineering trade-off hai.
Problem 5.2
Ek composite body: ek solid sphere (, ) ko ek uniform rod (, ) ke end se glue kiya gaya hai. System ek perpendicular axis ke baare mein rotate karta hai jo rod ke free end (sphere wala end nahi) se guzarti hai. Total nikalo. Sphere ka centre axis se door hai.
Recall Solution 5.2
Rod part (apne end axis ke baare mein): Sphere part. Sphere ek door axis ke baare mein spin kar raha hai, isliye parallel-axis use karo: apna plus jahan . Total. Dhyan do ki sphere ka khud ka spin term () transport term () ke aage kitna chhota hai — jab ek compact body axis se bahut door ho, woh almost ek point mass ki tarah behave karta hai.
