The discussion focuses on calculating the moment of inertia for a 2D circle, particularly in the context of Verlet Integration. Participants referenced existing formulas for 2D polygons and questioned their applicability to circles. The consensus indicates that while specific formulas exist for various shapes, the moment of inertia for a circle can be derived using standard physics principles. The Wikipedia link provided serves as a resource for further exploration of moments of inertia for different geometries.
PREREQUISITESPhysics students, game developers, and anyone involved in simulations requiring accurate calculations of moment of inertia for circular objects.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_moments_of_inertiaLolmen said:I notice, that there was some discussion and few formulas for calculate momentum of inertia for 2D polygons to use it in Verlet Integration further.
So I'm wondering, is something like that possible for 2D circle?
