rotational dynamics - What is the moment of inertia of a cylinder about a skew axis?



Suppose that there is a cylinder of uniform density with radius r , height h and mass M.


An axis is chosen through its geometric center making an angle θ with the horizontal.


What is the cylinder's moment of inertia about ?



Is it possible to do this by using the rotation of axes formulae?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
