Random, you're a life life saver. This does indeed make sense. Lots of thanks for the help!

Thanks again, Random. The cylinder is rotating on it's perpendicular axis. See this: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/icyl.html#icyl4. (description of I of a cylinder under the same conditions). It'll be like a swinging bat or pipe. Thanks for the help.

Thanks, Random. Would the same be the case if I modeled the system as a flat plate rotating on end? I was sure that I could integrate area along the moment arm based on my original equation using the appropriate Cd for the shape. Bummer. Thanks again.

Hey folks, New to the forum and eager to tap the resources of all your brilliant minds. Here's the problem. I'm modeling a system as a cylinder rotating on its end. Under a dynamic equilibrium situation with an applied force of a known value, I know its angular acceleration and...
