I thought moment of inertia depends on mass of the object and also its shape. But prof Lewin says it doesn't depend on mass. See this video:
No, he does not say that.avito009 said:I thought moment of inertia depends on mass of the object and also its shape. But prof Lewin says it doesn't depend on mass.
Not quite. He does demonstrate that the acceleration does not depend on the mass.avito009 said:But prof Lewin says it doesn't depend on mass.
This is so funny! On the assumption that every post deserves some sort of response..Dont read this. Sorry.. Too lateVanadium 50 said:He says no such thing, You've wasted fifteen minutes of my time. I hope you got your laughs from that.

Moment of inertia is a physical property of a rotating object that describes its resistance to changes in its rotational motion. It is also known as rotational inertia.
Moment of inertia depends on two factors: the mass of the object and the distribution of mass around the axis of rotation. Objects with more mass or with their mass distributed farther from the axis of rotation will have a higher moment of inertia.
The moment of inertia of an object can be calculated by summing the individual moments of inertia of all its component parts. The formula for moment of inertia is I = Σmr², where m is the mass of each component and r is the distance of each component from the axis of rotation.
Yes, moment of inertia is affected by the shape of an object. Objects with more mass distributed farther from the axis of rotation will have a higher moment of inertia, meaning that the shape of an object can impact its moment of inertia.
Moment of inertia is important in understanding the behavior and stability of rotating objects. It is used in many areas of physics and engineering, such as in the design of machinery, vehicles, and structures that involve rotational motion. It also plays a crucial role in the conservation of angular momentum.
