    Moment of inertia of hollow cylinder

    Let I= Moment of inertia of the hollow cylinder about its axis passing through its C.O.M

    To calculate I

    Consider a cylinder of mass M, radius R and length L as shown in figure

     

    Now take an elemental ring of radius R and mass dm which is coaxial to hollow cylinder.

    And Moment of inertia of elemental ring about axis of cylinder and ring is $d I=d m R^2$
    So integrating Moment of inertia of such elemental rings will give I

    $
    \mathrm{So,} \quad I=\int d I=\int d m R^2=M R^2
    $
