Rotations, Part 2: Parallel Axis Theorem

Rotations, Part 2: Parallel Axis Theorem: Part 2 of Rotations. The lecture begins with an explanation of the Parallel Axis Theorem and how it is applied in problems concerning rotation of rigid bodies. The moment of inertia of a disk is discussed as a demonstration of the theorem. Angular momentum and angular velocity are examined in a variety of problems.
