Homework Statement
I am struggling with a simple point.
Suppose a particle of mass 'm' is located at (a, b) in XY plane (a,b > 0). Gravity is in -Y direction. The particle is to let fall under gravity. Suppose it falls by a height 'h' after some time 't'. I have two questions.
(i) What is moment of inertia of the point mass about the point (0, b)
(ii) What is the moment of inertia of the point mass about the axis passing through O parallel to Z axis.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
My answers are:
(i) m (a^2 + h^2)
(ii) ma^2
Comment if possible, thanks in advance.
