The moment of inertia is given about an axis perpendicular to the plane of a circular disc. To find the moment of inertia about an axis along a diameter use the _____________.
We have to use the perpendicular axis theorem because the moment of inertia of an axis perpendicular to the diameter is given.
Perpendicular axis theorem
To find the moment of inertia about an axis along a diameter, given the moment of inertia of a perpendicular axis, use the perpendicular axis theorem
