Moment of Inertia For Various Bodies of Mass

This document lists various bodies of mass and provides the formula for calculating the moment of inertia for different axes of each body. It includes formulas for calculating the moment of inertia of rods, sheets, rings, parallelepipeds, spheres, shells, cylinders, cones, spheroids, and ellipsoids about different axes. The moment of inertia depends on factors like the mass, length, radii, and axes of each geometric body.
