[Fig 2.26: Uniform rot rotating with angular acceleration 'α']
Each element on the rod experiences an inertia dmαx . This inertia contributes to a moment about
the ‘z-axis’ as show in [Fig 2.26]. All the elements along the rod contribute to the same sense of
moment. The sum of all the moments is given by:
L

Moment of Inertia of the rod = dmαx
0
This inertia has to be provided by the applied torque to sustain the acceleration. Therefore, we have:
L

Torque T = dmαx
0
L L
By Newton’s second law of motion: Torque T = dmαx = Iα , by where I = dmx

Where (I) is the mass moment of inertia.
