Parallel Axis Theorem Derivation

The video tutorial explains the parallel axis theorem, which helps determine the moment of inertia of a rigid body about an axis parallel to one through its center of mass. The theorem states that the rotational inertia about any parallel axis equals the inertia about the center of mass plus the product of the mass and the square of the distance between the axes. The video provides a detailed proof, using mathematical concepts like integrals and the Pythagorean theorem, and concludes with a recap of the theorem's application.
