Thanks Guys,
I guess inertia being resistance to acceleration was what I was forgetting. And, in retrospect, it seems quite obvious that calculus is used to come up with the formulas for 'rotational inertia' about a centroid.
Cheers.
I am currently learning about how to calculate moments of inertia of various shapes. I can calculate them fine using the Parallel Axis Theorem, but I am having some difficulty trying to understand the overall concept.
Can somebody give me some practical applications of MOEs? I am also...
