The Moment of Inertia for a Thin Rectangular Plate calculator compute the moment of inertia based on the mass and two dimensions of the plate (height and width).
INSTRUCTOINS: Choose units and enter the following:
- (m) mass
- (h) height
- (w) width
Moment of Inertia of Thin Rectangular Plate (Ie): The calculator return the moment of inertia in kilogram-meters squared (kg·m²). However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.
The Math / Science
The
formula for the Moment of Inertia for a thin rectangular plate with the axis of rotation at the end of the plate is:
`I_e=m/12(h^2+w^2)`,
where:
- Ie = Moment of Inertia of Thin Rectangular Plate
- m = mass
- h = height
- w = width
