Rigid Body: A body which does not undergo any appreciable deformation under the
action of external forces, i.e. the intermolecular distances remain constant when
subjected to external forces. No body is truly rigid nor elastic or plastic. The state is always
referred to as rigid/elastic/plastic in context with the magnitude and range of external forces.

Rotational Motion: A body is said to be purely rotating
when all the
constituents of the body are moving in
circular motions,
with centers of their paths lying on a
fixed straight line called axis of
rotation.

The axis of rotation may lie within the body or without the body
Examples: Motion of table/ceiling fan blades Motion of Turbine rotor

Moment of Inertia (miRi2 ) about a given axis of rotation is
defined as the sum of product of mass of each constituent and
square of its distance from the axis of rotation.
Moment of Inertia (abbreviated as MI, denoted by I) represents inertia in rotational motion i.e. reluctance of a rigid body to
Prof. Sameer Sawarkar 21 With regular geometric boundaries,
where division in discrete shapes is possible, MI is expressed as;
I = miRi2
With irregular geometric boundaries, where division in elemental shapes is necessary, MI is expressed as;
• I = (mi, Ri2)
• MI represents mass distribution of the rotating rigid body. • Rotational motion depends not just upon total mass but upon

IP I G G P Q (dm) S h QP2 = PG2 + 2PG*GS + QG2
Multiplying throughout by dm and integrating; QP2 dm = PG2dm + 2PG GSdm + QG2dm QP2 dm = I P QG2dm = I G PG2dm = PG2dm = Mh2
Prof. Sameer Sawarkar 49 IP Substituting; IP = IG + Mh2 IG G P Q (dm) S h
MI of a rigid body about any axis is equal to sum of its MI about a parallel axis through center of mass and product of mass of body and square of the distance between two parallel axes.

RADIUS OF GYRATION
Radius of Gyration (K) w.r.t. the given axis of rotation is the
theoretical distance at which, when entire mass of the body is
assumed to be concentrated, gives same MI (of idealized point mass system) as that of the original rigid body. If MK2 = R2dm, then K is
the radius of gyration.
