    Is it possible to directly compute the maximum moment of inertia for an object

    So to make this simpler let's just assume I am dealing with some sort of irregular shaped object but one of constant thickness so that we can just throw away the Z axis and just work in 2 dimensions. Does that make the problem easier/directly solvable for the 2 scalar values of angle? I...

    Is it possible to directly compute the maximum moment of inertia for an object

    Given some arbitrary shape I can compute the moment of inertia about any axis without a problem by summing the inertia of each of the shapes making up the entire object. I also know the center of mass of the object. Is it possible to directly compute the angles of the axis for the minimum and...
