![If we assume uniformity of a regular body, its mass density is the same at any observed point of the volume the body takes. So, yes. This would imply constant density, given that influencial environmental factors are disregarded or invariant in the given scenario. Each part could be assigned different densities also, but for a yoyo it is required that the outter materials are identical in composition to ensure its usual functioning as a toy. If you wished to calculate M.I for the body about axis B, which I assume is parallel to the planes of the outter circular faces, both the parallel and perpendicular axis theorems are (possibly) needed. Obtain the M.I about the axis of one of the outter cylinders parallel to its side length (h_1 ) as I_x . By the perpendicular axes theorem, if I_y is the M.I of the cylinder about an axis parallel to axis B and I_(z ) is the M.I about an axis such that axis X,axis Y and axis Z are mutually perpendicular, then I_x =I_y +I_z . Since the body is regular and uniform, I_y =I_z . ∴I_x =2I_y ⇒I_y =(1/2)I_x . Let m_1 be the mass of each outter cylinder. Then, by the parallel axis theorem, the M.I of each outter cylinder about axis B is given by I_b ^((1)) =I_y +(((h_1 +h_2 )/2))^2 m_1 . I_b ^((1)) =(1/2)I_x +((m_1 (h_1 +h_2 )^2 )/4) ((h_1 +h_2 )/2) is the ⊥ distance between axis Y and axis B. The inner cylinder has I_b ^((2)) =(1/2)I_x ^((1)) . because of the perpendicular axis theorem. The M.I of the full figure about B is then I_B =2I_b ^((1)) +I_b ^((2)) I_B =I_x +((m_1 (h_1 +h_2 )^2 )/2)+I_x ^((1)) . I_x =(1/2)m_1 r_1 ^(2 ) and I_x ^((1)) =(1/2)m_2 r_2 ^2 .](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q3349.png)
