Hoop - Central Axis

This page provides a diagram and functioning calculator to compute the mass moment of inertia for a hoop about it's central axis.
﻿
I=mr2I = mr^2I=mr2
The following are the variables for the equations...
﻿﻿I
  = the moment of inertia (﻿m2kg​
).
﻿﻿m
 = the body's mass (kg).
﻿﻿r
 = distance between the centroid of the body and the axis, i.e. the radius (m).
