Does the rotational inertia of an object differ for different axes of rotation?
Whether the rotational inertia of an object differ for different axes of rotation.
Answer to Problem 2A
Yes
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Rotational inertia of a mass
As can be seen from above that the rotational inertia of an object is directly proportional to the square of its distance from the axis of rotation.. This distance would be different for different considered axes.
Conclusion:
Hence, the rotational inertia of an object will differ for different axes of rotation.
