This paper explores how the analysis of differential elements and dimensional analysis can simplify the computation of the moment of inertia of certain rigid bodies by exploiting symmetries in these bodies. Integration is used scarcely, if at all, throughout this paper to emphasize the versatility of the method employed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
