 Axial moment of inertia of a solid of revolution

A uniform solid with circular cross-sectional radius $r(z)$ can be sliced into thin discs. A slice of thickness $dz$ has mass $dm=\rho \pi r(z{)}^{2}dz$ and axial moment of inertia $d{I}_z=\frac{1}{2}r(z{)}^{2}dm$. ThusAll slice axes coincide, so no parallel axis theorem correction is needed. For a linearly tapered section of length $l$ with end radii $r_0,r_1$, direct integration gives $M=\rho \pi l(r_0^2+r_0{r}_1+r_1^2)/3$ and $I_z=\rho \pi l(r_0^4+r_0^3{r}_1+r_0^2{r}_1^2+r_0{r}_1^3+r_1^4)/10$.
