Parallel Axes Rule
In physics, the parallel axis theorem or Huygens–Steiner theorem can be used to determine the second moment of area or the mass moment of inertia of a rigid body about any axis, given the body's moment of inertia about a parallel axis through the object's centre of mass and the perpendicular distance (r) between the axes.

Famous quotes containing the words parallel, axes and/or rule:
“The parallel between antifeminism and race prejudice is striking. The same underlying motives appear to be at work, namely fear, jealousy, feelings of insecurity, fear of economic competition, guilt feelings, and the like. Many of the leaders of the feminist movement in the nineteenth-century United States clearly understood the similarity of the motives at work in antifeminism and race discrimination and associated themselves with the anti slavery movement.”
—Ashley Montagu (b. 1905)
“Henothing common did, or mean,
Upon the memorable Scene:
But with his keener Eye
The Axes edge did try:”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
“If you would rule the world quietly, you must keep it amused.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
