Parallel Axes Theorem
XI
⚡ Quick Summary
The parallel axis theorem relates the moment of inertia of a body about an axis through its center of mass to the moment of inertia about a parallel axis.
I = I_cm + Md^2
Theorem used to calculate the moment of inertia of a rigid body about an axis parallel to an axis passing through its center of mass.
