Some Results in the Theory of Mass Systems: A Study in “Calculus-Dodging”

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  03 November 2016

Extract

1. Let the rod be of length l, line density d, mass M = ld. If I is its moment of inertia about one end, then from the theory of dimensions

where C is dimensionless, i.e. a constant, independent of M and l.
