Objectives of Chapter 17
• To introduce the methods used to determine the mass
moment of inertia of a body.
• To develop the planar kinetic equations of motion for a
symmetric rigid body.
• To discuss application of these equations to bodies
undergoing translation, rotation about a fixed axis and
general plane motion.
Mass Moment of Inertia
• The moment of inertia is the integral of the second
moment about an axis of all the elements of mass
dm which compose the body.
• For example, the boy’s moment of inertia about the
z axis in the below Figure:
Two Types of Differential Elements
• There are two types of differential elements:
1. Shell method (Figure b)
2. Disk method (Figure c)

Parallel Axes Theorem
Radius of Gyration
• Radius of gyration (k) is a geometrical property
which has a units of length.
• Radius of gyration can be expressed as:
Example 17.3
Planar Kinetic Equations of Motion
• Equation of translational motion:
• For motion of the body in x-y plane, the equations
are:
Equation of Rotational Motion
• This rotational equation of motion states that the
sum of the moments of all external forces about the
body’s mass center G is equal to the product of the
moment of inertia of the body about an axis
passing through G and the body’s angular
acceleration.
• When the moments of the external forces on the
free body diagram are summed about point P
(Figure e), they are equivalent to the sum of the
kinetic moments of the components of maG about P.
Equations of Motion: Translation
• In rectilinear translation, all the particles of the
body travel along parallel straight-line paths.
• In curvilinear translation, all the particles of the
body have the same acceleration as they travel
along curved paths as noted.

Rotation About a Fixed Axis
• Consider the rigid body shown in the Figure, which
is constrained to rotate in the vertical plane about a
fixed axis perpendicular to the page and passing
through the pin at O.
Moment Equation About Point O
• It is convenient to sum moments about the pin at O
in order to eliminate the unknown force Fo.
