Remarks
(You dont need to read these remarks to do the problems.)
RRR

The moment of inertia is defined as I =
E r dV of a body E, where r = r(x, y, z) is
the distance of a point (x, y, z) to the axes of rotation and is the density of the body.
Sphere
Hollow
(2/3)M R2
Solid
(2/5)M R2
The moment of inertia is the Sphere
Cylinder Solid (i.e. CD!)
(1/2)M R2
rotational analogue to mass.
Plate
Axes through center (1/12)M (a2 + b2 )
If a body rotates with angular velocity , then E = I 2 /2 is the rotational energy of the body.
The fact that fast rotation leads to a large energy can be demonstrated by spinning a CD until
it disintegrates ...

Dont try that yourself!

Challenge Problems
(Solutions to these problems are not turned in with the homework.)
1) Find the volume of the intersection of two cylinders y 2 + z 2 = 1 and x2 + z 2 = 1. Hint. Look
what happens, when you cut the body at a fixed z value and calculate the area of this section.
2) Use a quadruple integral to find the hyper volume of the hyper-sphere x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + w2 = r2
in R4 .
Hint. If you slice up the hyper-sphere at w, you get a sphere of radius
volume of the sphere from w = r to w = r using substitution.
3) Interpret the triple integral
region.
