First, what does "you could just integreate and obtain the formula" mean? do i intergrate the volume of it or what?
second, is it possible to calculate the moment of inertia using Ti-89 or any computer program from scracth without me integrating it and putting the formula in the computer...
can anyone suggest ways on how to calculate the moment of inertia using:
1) graphics calculator [TI-89 plus] and/or
2) any computer-based packages
for a cylinder, cone and sphere?
I believe that a program can be created in my graphics but i don't seem know how to create such a complicated...
I'm having a difficulty in proving the moment of inertia of a sphere.
Using I=p(x^2)dv, we have to show that
I = (3m/r^3) * the integral (from 0 to r) of (x^3)((r^2) - (x^2))^(1/2) dx
where r=radius, x=the axis
I've been trying to prove it and yet no success. if anyone can show me...
