	Moment of inertia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The moment of inertia of an object about a given axis describes how difficult it is to induce an angular rotation of the object about that axis.
		The moment of inertia is sometimes called the mass moment of inertia (especially by mechanical engineers) to avoid confusion with the second moment of area, which is sometimes called the moment of inertia (especially by structural engineers) and denoted by the same symbol I.
		If the moment of inertia tensor has been calculated for rotations about the centroid of the rigid body, it is relatively easy to compute the tensor for rotations offset from the centroid.

	Radius of gyration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The gyration radius is useful in estimating the stiffness of a beam.
		However, if the principal moments of the two-dimensional gyration tensor are not equal, the beam will tend to buckle around the axis with the smaller principal moment.
		It should be noted that I is a scalar, and is not the moment of inertia tensor.

	Moment of Inertia
		The moment of inertia of a body is not only related to its mass but also the distribution of the mass throughout the body.
		Thus, it would be more accurate to say that the moment of inertia of a rigid body reflects the mass distribution within the body with respect to the axis of rotation.
		is called the ellipsoid of inertia since it describes the moment of inertia of an object as a function of the orientation of the axis of rotation.

		The moment of inertia about the end of the rod can be calculated directly or obtained from the center of mass expression by use of the Parallel axis theorem.
		Calculating the moment of inertia of a rod about its center of mass is a good example of the need for calculus to deal with the properties of continuous mass distributions.
		The moment of inertia of a point mass is given by I = mr^2, but the rod would have to be considered to be an infinite number of point masses, and each must be multiplied by the square of its distance from the axis.

		The students then plot the period of the oscillations (1/ # of oscillations in 5 seconds) versus the radius at which the clamps are placed.
		The students then fit a polynomial to their data and observe that for each student that the trend is quadratic, just as one would expect in order to overcome rotational inertia.
		Besides observing the trend in the data, each student feels what the moment of inertia means as they feel what happens as the masses is moved outward.

		The second moment of area of a section is equivalent to its moment of inertia so that any tables of moment of inertia data may be used to produce equivalent second moment of area data.
		The second moment of area of a plane area about any axis is equal to the second moment of area about a parallel axis through the centroid of the area plus the product of the area and the square of the distance between the two axes.
		It is therefore clear that the minimum value of second moment of area relates to an axis passing through the centroid.

		Second, the moment of inertia for a 16" setup is less than the 17", meaning that the weight on the 17" is concentrated further away from the center, meaning that it takes more power to turn it because the weight has more leverage.
		The 1-2 lb increased weight of the WHEEL is a half inch farther from the center, but the tire that is located at that same physical distance is LIGHTER, which compensates for it.
		I guess a proper guess can't be made until we know weight distribution, overall weight, spring rates, rollbar rates, etc. Typically 17s don't become a help until overall diameter exceeds 26 or 27", but that is entirely dependent on the specs of the car.
