Moment of Inertia (Central Axis)
- Ring: I=MR2
- Disc: I=MR2/2
- Solid sphere: I=2MR2/5
- Hollow sphere: I=2MR2/3
- Rod (centre): I=ML2/12
- Rod (end): I=ML2/3
- Disc (diameter): I=MR2/4
Axis Theorems
- Parallel: I=Icm+Md2 → any body
- Perpendicular: Iz=Ix+Iy → flat bodies only
Rolling Race (fastest → slowest)
Solid sphere → Disc → Hollow sphere → Ring
Rolling Acceleration
a=1+K2/R2gsinθ
Rolling Speed from Height h
v=1+K2/R22gh
K2/R2 Values
2/5 (solid sphere) < 1/2 (disc) < 2/3 (hollow sphere) < 1 (ring)
Angular Momentum Conservation

Torque
\tau = rF\sin\theta \quad [M^1L^2$T^{-2}$]
Angular Momentum
L = I\omega \quad [M^1L^2$T^{-1}$]
Contact Point Velocity
Zero in rolling without slipping. Topmost point velocity = 2vcm.
