The Moment of Inertia of a Solid Sphere about a Tangent calculator computes the moment of inertia of a sphere of uniform density with radius a around the diameter and a mass of M about a tangent line on the edge of the sphere.
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
Moment of Inertia of a Solid Sphere (MOI): The calculator returns the moment of inertia in kg•m².
The formula for the moment of inertia of a solid, uniform density, sphere about a tangent line is:
MOI = 7•M•r² / 5
