The moment of inertia is the quantity that replaces mass in all the old formulas. Not only is the mass of an object important, but also how that mass is distributed.

Find the moment of inertia of a 3 meter long stick with a mass of 32 kg, if it is spun about the center of the stick

ISphere = 2/5 MR2

ICylinder = 1/2 MR2

IRing = MR2

IStick thru center = 1/12 ML2

IStick thru end = 1/3 ML2
