Moment-of-inertia triangle inequalities

ID: moment-of-inertia-triangle-inequalities

For three mutually perpendicular axes through one point of a nonnegative mass distribution, , with cyclic counterparts. Equality holds precisely when the mass distribution is supported in the plane , giving the perpendicular axis theorem. The point need not be the centre of mass, and the axes need not be principal axes.
