Homework Statement
alright, so I'm trying to find the rotational inertia of a urethane longboard wheel, and i need to integrate a section of it that looks like a truncated annular cylinder that looks something like this if you cut it in half
Homework Equations
just to be sure that i don't plagiarize or anything, i was hoping for more of a hint instead of a straight up answer if possible... question mark
The Attempt at a Solution
i first derived the equation for the rotational inertia of an annular cylinder (I=(1/2)M(R1^2+R2^2), then i used M=(density)V to find the mass, but i can't find the density unless i dump the wheel into a wet measure filled with water, and i really don't want to do that.
any ideas?
