Solid Sphere

This page provides a diagram and functioning calculator to compute the mass moment of inertia for a solid sphere.
﻿
I=25mr2I = \frac{2}{5}mr^2I=52​mr2
The following are the variables for the equations...
I = the moment of inertia (﻿kg/m2
).
m = the body's mass (kg).
r = distance between the centroid of the body and the axis, i.e. the radius (m).
