Question

you measure the moment of inertia of various objects by dropping them on the rotating cylinder. You were instructed to be sure that the object is concentric with the rotating system. If you drop the object off-center, the value of the moment of inertia will be more than/less than/exactly/Explain your answer to part a.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Explanation / Answer

(a) more than I

as we know the moment of inertia =m*r2

as the distance r in case of offcentre is greater than in comparision to centre
