Abstract

The radius of inertia of every body segment about the longitudinal axis and that about an axis through the centre of gravity and at right angles to the longitudinal axis have been determined. This allows deduction of the radius and moment of inertia about any axis through the centre of gravity and, consequently, about any axis in space.
