Lecture

Rigid Body Dynamics: Moment of Inertia

Description

This lecture covers the dynamics of rigid bodies, focusing on the concepts of angular momentum and moment of inertia. It explains how to calculate the moment of inertia for complex objects and how it relates to the distribution of mass. The lecture also discusses the projection of angular momentum onto the rotation axis and the energy of rotation. Additionally, it explores the concept of principal axes of inertia and provides examples of calculating moment of inertia for different objects.
