you measure the moment of inertia of various objects by dropping them on the rot

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) moment of inertia would increase.

b) it would increase as moment of inertia is mass and distance from axis . if object is dropped on axis moment of inertia wouldn't change as distance would be zero. however if it is off centre moment of inertia woild increase.
