MASS MOMENT OF INERTIA: Consider a body of mass, m and dm is the mass of an element of this

body situated at a distance r from the axis AA (Fig.). The moment of inertia of body with respect to AA
is defined by the equation,

Parallel axis theorem:

The parallel axis theorem states that the moment of inertia of a body about any axis which is parallel
to the centroidal axis XX and is at a distance (h) (Fig.) from it is given as:
