The 15 pages that link to Axis of rotation, each with the reason it gives.

• TorqueRelated: Torque is defined relative to an axis, so changing the axis can change its value.

• Angular velocityRelated: The axis determines the direction assigned to three-dimensional angular velocity.

• Moment of inertiaRelated: The moment of inertia is defined relative to this chosen line.

• Lunar librationRelated: The orientation of the lunar rotation axis governs the latitude component of apparent rocking.

• Rotational motionRelated: The chosen axis determines the geometry and angular quantities of rotation.

• Angular displacementRelated: In three dimensions, the axis specifies the direction associated with angular displacement.

• Oblate spheroidRelated: The ellipse’s shorter axis becomes the spheroid’s polar axis.

• GimbalRelated: The arrangement of rotation axes determines a gimbal’s allowed motions.

• Wheel and axleRelated: The wheel and axle share an axis that constrains their rotation.

• Pappus's centroid theoremRelated: Its position relative to the region determines whether the theorem applies.

• Pappus's area theoremRelated: The axis sets the centroid’s travel distance and must not intersect the curve.
