Formulas and Key Relations

1) Torque and Angular Momentum

τ = r × F

τ = rF sinθ

L = r × p

L = rp sinθ

τ = dL/dt

2) Rigid Body, Rotation, and Kinematics

s = rθ

v = rω

a = rα

ω = ω0 + αt

θ = ω0 t + (1/2)αt^2

3) Moment of Inertia and Radius of Gyration

I = Σmr^2

I = ∫r^2 dm

I = Mk^2

k = √(I/M)

4) Theorems of Parallel and Perpendicular Axes

I = Icm + Ma^2

Iz = Ix + Iy

s = rθ, v = rω, and a = rα.

Key relations

Radius of gyration k is defined by I = Mk², so k = √(I/M).
