The Moment of Inertia of a Cylinder at the End calculator computes the  moment of inertia of a solid circular cylinder of uniform density with radius a and height h about an axis along the diameter of the cylinder at one end (see diagram).

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose your preferred units and enter the following:

• (M) This is the mass of the cylinder.
• (a)  This is the radius of the cylinder.
• (h)  This is the height or length of the cylinder.

Moment of Inertial: The calculator returns the moment of inertia (MoI) in kilogram-square meters.  However, this can be automatically converted to other moment of inertia units via the pull-down menu.
