Question

What is the moment of inertia of a uniform solid cylinder of mass $M$ and radius $R$ about its own central axis of symmetry?

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

According to the standard moments of inertia table for regular shaped bodies, the moment of inertia of a uniform solid cylinder about its axis of symmetry is $\frac{1}{2}MR^2$.
