Test your understanding of moment of inertia with 5 practice questions.

Practice Questions

Question 1

What is the moment of inertia of a solid cylinder of mass $M$ and radius $R$ about an axis through its edge?

Question 2

A uniform thin rod of mass $M$ and length $L$ is pivoted at one end. What is its moment of inertia about the pivot point?

Question 3

What is the moment of inertia of a hollow cylinder of mass $M$ and radius $R$ about its central axis?

Question 4

Using the parallel-axis theorem, if the moment of inertia about the center of mass is $I_{CM}$, what is the moment of inertia about an axis parallel to it and a distance $d$ away?

Question 5

For a solid sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$, what is its moment of inertia about an axis through its center?
