Moment of Inertia Summary

The video tutorial explains the concept of moment of inertia, highlighting its role in determining how a rigid body rotates. It distinguishes between discrete masses and continuous bodies, using a metal plate as an example. The tutorial further illustrates the concept with examples, such as the moment of inertia of a uniform circular disc and a thin rod, calculated about different points like the center of mass and endpoints.

What is the integral expression for the moment of inertia of a continuous body?

Explain the difference in moment of inertia for a thin rod about its end point O and its center of mass G.
