What is the Parallel Axis Theorem for moment of inertia $I$ of a rigid body of mass $M$?
Study flashcard from the deck JEE Main Master Class: Calculus, Mechanics, Coordinate Geometry.
Answer
$I = I_{\text{cm}} + M d^2$, where $I_{\text{cm}}$ is the moment of inertia about the parallel center-of-mass axis and $d$ is the distance between axes.
Explanation
Used to shift rotational axes from the center of mass to hinges or rolling contact points.
