Moments of inertia for solids of revolution and variational methods
Rodolfo A. Diaz, William J. Herrera, R. Martinez
We present some formulae for the moments of inertia of homogeneous solids of revolution in terms of the functions that generate the solids. The development of these expressions exp…

On the transformation of torques between the laboratory and center of mass reference frames
Rodolfo A. Diaz, William J. Herrera
It is commonly stated in Newtonian Mechanics that the torque with respect to the laboratory frame is equal to the torque with respect to the center of mass frame plus a (R X F) fac…
