Parallel axis theorem
- Parallel axis theorem is used to find a moment of inertia about an axis which is at some distance from the centroidal axis and parallel to centroidal.
- Suppose an axis is at distance d from the centroidal axis and parallel to the centroidal axis.
According to the parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia about that axis is given by,
Moment of inertia about the centroidal axis of the triangle
Applying parallel axis theorem we get
