If we know ICM , it is easy to calculate the moment of inertia about a parallel axis….
Tipler has summary of moments of inertia for “symmetric” objects like these. Table 9.1 p 274

Parallel Axis TheoremParallel Axis Theorem
Suppose the moment of inertia of a solid object of mass M about an axis through the center of mass, ICM, is known.
The moment of inertia about an axis parallel to this axis but a distance D away is given by:
IPARALLEL = ICM + MD2
So if we know ICM , it is easy to calculate the moment of inertia about a parallel axis.

The Cross ProductThe Cross Product
We can describe the vectorial nature of torque in a compact form by introducing the “cross product”. The cross product of two vectors is a third vector:
AA X BB = CC
The length of CC is given by: C = AB sin
The direction of CC is perpendicular to the plane defined by AA and BB, and inthe direction defined by the right handrule.

CC

So we can express the torque as the vector product:

X = rY FZ - FY rZ = y FZ - FY z
Y = rZ FX - FZ rX = z FX - FZ x
Z = rX FY - FX rY = x FY - FX y
look at this in particular…

To loosen a stuck nut, a (stupid) man pulls at an angle of 45o on the end of a 50 cm wrench with a force of 200 N. What is the magnitude of the torque on the nut? If the nut suddenly turns freely, what is the angular
acceleration of the wrench? (The wrenchhas a mass of 3 kg, and its shape is that of a thin rod).

A massless string is wrapped 10 times around a disk of mass M = 40 g and radius R = 10 cm. The disk is constrained to rotate without friction about a fixed axis though its center. The string is pulled with a force F = 10 N until it has unwound. (Assume the string does not slip, and that the disk is initially not spinning).
How fast is the disk spinning after the string has unwound?
