Angular motion
Rotating body has axis of rotation Axis might change with time consider xed axis for now. Then every point in the body moves in circle around the axis of rotation

Rotational inertia
The quantity
I=
i
miri2
relates the kinetic energy to the angular velocity. It is the rotational inertia (or moment of inertia) (rotational equivalent of inertial quantity like mass). Note that this is a rotational inertia about a particular axis of the body if we change the axis, I changes.

Torque (2)
Dene the torque (turning action) on the body:

A system with constant angular and linear momentum is said to be in equilibrium. In the special case where both of these are zero, we talk of staic equilibrium. Then:
