Step 1
The formula is I = 0.5 * m * r^2, where m is the mass of the cylinder and r is the radius. The mass of the cylinder can be calculated by the volume of the cylinder times the density of the material. The volume of a cylinder is given by V = π * r^2 * h, where r is Show more…

The solid cylinder has an outer radius $R$, height $h$ and is made from a material having a density that varies from its center as $\rho=k+a r^{2},$ where $k$ and $a$ are constants. Determine the mass of the cylinder and its moment of inertia about the $z$ axis.
Find the moment of inertia of a right circular cylinder of radius R and height H about its axis if the density is proportional to the distance from the axis.
