Moment of Inertia about an axis and Torque about a point

[QUOTE="Orodruin, post: 6819590, member: 510075"] Well, first of all, do you understand tensors? You do not consider an axis. You consider the general equations of motion. There are some simplified cases such as an object rotating freely around a fixed point an object not subject to any net force (just torques). In the case where you fix the rotational axis, only the torque in the axis’ direction is relevant. This component will not depend on which reference point you pick as long as you pick a point on the axis. [/QUOTE]
