Understanding Textual Cohesion and Lyric Poetry Genres

Physics Formulas and Concepts Summary
Moments of Inertia
I = m * d². System for discrete masses: I = Σmᵢ * dᵢ². System for continuous bodies: I = ∫ (d² * dm). Steiner’s Theorem (Parallel Axis Theorem): Ia = Ib + m * d² (where Ib is the moment of inertia about an axis passing through the center of mass G, and the axis ‘a’ is parallel to ‘b’ at a distance ‘d’).
