where the integration is carried out over each differential element of mass located
at r, and 𝑘(⋅) is the distance of each mass element from the axis of rotation. If
we assume that the body has some position-dependent density 𝛾(r), then the
mass element can be rewritten
The integral can then be rewritten as a volume integral over the body
∫
𝐼 = 𝛾(r)𝑘(r)2 𝑑𝑉. (3)
