Moment of Inertia
I have a homework question that i simply can't get my head around, and it's driving me nuts, any help would be greatly appreciated,
The question wants me to calculate the moment of inertia for a thin disk radius b with uniform density p, that lies in the x-y plane.
But it wants me to find the moment of inertia about the x axis, using polar co ordinates.
I have worked this out using perp. axis thm but i'm not allowed to use that here, have to calculate from scratch.
thanks for any help.

Re: Moment of Inertia
It's ok, worked it out was simply stuffing up the integration, and thought i was further off than i was.
